In-person and telehealth
Erie workers can choose between secure HIPAA-aware telehealth evaluations or in-person appointments. Telehealth meets every 49 CFR Part 40 requirement and is permitted for both the initial SAP evaluation and the follow-up. Most Erie-area drivers prefer telehealth so they can begin the return-to-duty process without taking another day off the road.
Same federal process, regardless of where you are
Whether you're a CDL driver pulled over in Erie, a transit worker flagged by a random test, or a pilot returning from a positive screen — the DOT return-to-duty process is the same nationwide. We work the entire process from your initial evaluation through follow-up and Clearinghouse reporting (for FMCSA drivers).

Does telehealth count for a DOT SAP evaluation in Erie?
Yes. DOT explicitly permits telehealth for both the initial SAP evaluation and the follow-up evaluation under 49 CFR Part 40, as long as it's a real-time, two-way video session with a qualified SAP. Erie workers use telehealth most often because it removes drive time and lost work hours.
How much does a DOT SAP evaluation cost in Erie?

Will my Erie employer or DER accept this evaluation?
Yes. The 49 CFR Part 40 return-to-duty process is federal, not local. Any DOT-regulated employer in Erie — trucking, transit, aviation, rail, or pipeline — is required to accept an evaluation from a qualified SAP, and we send all required documentation directly to your Designated Employer Representative.
