As workers compensation injury treatment specialists, we know how to manage injuries and control losses, thus increasing employers’ productivity. Our philosophy is to return patients back to work as soon as possible. We do not write patients out of work; therefore, we empower employers to utilize rstricted or limited duty, which as studies have shown, helps workers return to regular duty status much quicker.

Pre-Placement Screening
Nothing may be as vital to a company’s bottom line as selecting the right workers for the job. Businesses need workers who are not only healthy and free of chemical dependence, but are also fit for the task they’re being hired to do. The experts at I&O Medical Centers have been working with businesses throughout the region for more than two decades to increase their profitability by helping them make informed hiring decisions.
“Pre-placement physicals are a good idea, not only because you want to make sure that the person matches the job and won’t be put at risk by doing it, but also to protect the employer from undo risk or liability down the road,” explains I&O CEO Dr. Michael Baddar. “An employer doesn’t want to be saddled with problems that are not his fault. We can document any health issues ahead of time – such as hearing loss due to military service, which we see often – to ensure that that doesn’t happen.”
I&O offers extensive pre-placement screening services, some of which are available in few other places. We regularly conduct Commercial Driver (DOT) exams, Hazardous Materials Exams, Asbestos & Respirator Clearance tests, DOT and non-DOT Drug and Alcohol testing, FAA flight physicals for pilots, and other tests, including those that are company or industry specific.
Each type of physical exam requires special training by I&O physicians and staff. I&O physician Dr. Conage is one of the few physicians on the Peninsula qualified to do FAA flight physicals. In addition, I&O’s specially-trained physicians conduct hundreds of Maritime physicals for workers being considered for jobs on the water. People applying for jobs with the Coast Guard must undergo an extensive physical, which I&O also offers. I&O has the training and expertise to handle the entire gamut of industry-specific pre-placement tests, including “Fit for Duty” physicals for crane operators, “Fork Lift Physicals” for prospective fork lift operators and many others.
“Pre-placement is really about prevention,” says Dr. Baddar. “We prevent accidents by making sure people can do the job safely, and we prevent liability by providing the employer with a clear picture of that patient’s physical condition before they even start. It is a win-win situation.”
Substance Abuse Testing
- DOT & Non DOT
- Breath Alcohol
- Saliva-Swab Test
- Consortium Services
Drug abusing employees are a serious threat to themselves, their co-workers, and the stability and profitability of any business. At I&O Medical Centers, we believe that the surest way to prevent drug and alcohol abuse on the job is to establish a zero-tolerance policy, supported by regular professional substance abuse testing.
“When you introduce drug testing, you are taking a stance that has implications for the whole workplace environment,” explains I&O CEO Dr. Michael Baddar. “Our approach to substance abuse testing is not about catching people so much as it is about compelling the group to engage in healthy behaviors."
For companies that already have an established drug testing program, I&O Medical Center is the ideal partner to support that program. I&O’s certified drug screening experts can conduct random, reasonable cause, or pre-placement testing and even offer it on-site or after hours to ensure worker compliance. For companies that don’t currently have a testing program in place, I&O can assist them in crafting and implementing a Drug-Free Workplace Policy.
I&O Medical Centers offer the most thorough and sophisticated substance abuse testing options available, for both DOT and non-DOT evaluation. These include Urine Drug Screening (UDS), Hair Testing, Rapid Tests (with instant results), Saliva Swab Testing and Breath and Blood Alcohol Testing. These can be conducted randomly as well as prior to placement, after an accident, in cases where drug use is suspected, or before an employee returns to duty. Tests are typically 5-panel or 10-panel, but customized panels are also available.
Dr. Baddar has been a Medical Review Officer (MRO) since 1980 when drug testing was first introduced as part of pre-placement testing. For employers who have a TPA to conduct their screening, I&O can function as the collector only.
