Cost & Scheduling · Pennsylvania
DOT SAP evaluation cost — and a same-week telehealth appointment
Two questions come up before anything else: what does this cost, and how soon can I be seen? Here are straight answers to both. One flat fee covers your initial and follow-up evaluation, and most Pennsylvania clients get a secure telehealth slot within a few business days.
One flat evaluation fee
Quoted before you book, covering both the initial and the follow-up evaluation. No hourly billing.
Same-week scheduling
Most PA clients are seen within 2–5 business days, with evening telehealth slots for shift workers.
100% telehealth statewide
No travel, no lost shift. Secure video from anywhere in Pennsylvania, accepted by DOT employers.
What the fee covers — and what it doesn't
Included in your fee
- Initial clinical assessment (60–90 minutes)
- Written recommendation issued to your DER
- Follow-up evaluation after program completion
- Written follow-up testing plan
- Clearinghouse entries handled correctly and on time
Billed by someone else
- The education or treatment program your SAP recommends
- Your directly observed return-to-duty test (employer-arranged)
- Follow-up tests during your testing plan (employer-arranged)
More detail on pricing structure is on the DOT SAP evaluation cost page.
From first call to cleared — 5 steps
The whole path is defined by the federal return-to-duty process. Here's how it runs when you start this week.
- 1
Call or submit an intake — get the fee up front
You get the flat evaluation fee and the next open telehealth slot in the same conversation. No deposit to ask a question.
- 2
Book a same-week telehealth slot
Most Pennsylvania clients are scheduled within 2–5 business days, evenings included. Nothing to drive to — you meet by secure video from home or the yard.
- 3
Complete the evaluation (60–90 minutes)
A DOT-qualified SAP walks through your history, the testing event, and your circumstances, then issues a written recommendation for education or treatment.
- 4
Finish the recommended program
You complete the specific program recommended — billed by that provider, not by us. We stay in touch so nothing stalls on paperwork.
- 5
Follow-up evaluation and return-to-duty clearance
Included in the same fee. Once you're cleared, your DER is notified, your return-to-duty test is scheduled, and your follow-up testing plan is issued.
