What Is a Medical Review Officer (MRO)?
A Medical Review Officer (MRO) is a licensed physician responsible for reviewing and interpreting drug and alcohol test results obtained through an employer’s testing program.
The MRO reviews testing information, helps determine whether results are supported by the applicable testing process, and communicates verified results through the appropriate employer workflow.
This medical review function adds an important professional layer between laboratory testing and the final result that is reported within the employer’s testing program.
