💔 OccMedMD Is Standing Strong With Our Community

Today, we had the sobering privilege of getting first-hand experience touring the tornado-stricken areas of St. Louis with Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis, Inc. and AGC of Missouri. The destruction is heartbreaking — but the strength and unity of our community is powerful.

We were inspired by the incredible labor teams working tirelessly to help clean up and rebuild out of the goodness of their heart, including:
🔨 PARIC
🚧 Keeley Companies
🏗️ Clayco
🛠️ Millstone Weber, LLC
👷 Fred M. Luth & Sons, Inc
Any MANY more!

Thank you so much for supporting people from these communities in their darkest hours.

These crews are putting in the real work to help St. Louis recover — and we’re honored to support them and all other restoration crews in return. We will continue to provide needed supplies, financial support, and manpower. Our office will continue to serve people who are injured while assisting with these efforts 7 days a week.

✔️ At OccMedMD, we care for these hardworking teams when injuries happen.
✔️ We offer same- and next-day care to help them recover quickly and safely.
✔️ It’s our mission to support the people rebuilding our communities — every step of the way.

To all those showing up, putting in the labor, and leading with heart — thank you. You are the strength of St. Louis and we will come back stronger than before. 💪

New Procedures Affecting CDL Medical Certificates

Beginning April 21, 2025, the Missouri Department of Revenue will implement new procedures established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration that pertain to the Medical Examiner Certificate (MEC) required for some commercial driver license (CDL) and commercial learner’s permit (CLP) holders in the state.

After this implementation period, the MEC will no longer be submitted by the holder, but rather by the medical provider directly to the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. The transmission of MEC data back to Missouri’s DOR will be automated for current CDL and CLP holders.

This removes the requirement that the driver provide a physical copy of the MEC at the time of application and reduces manual processing. Drivers will no longer need to submit or carry the MEC as proof of medical certification. However, certified medical examiners can still provide the MEC, if requested by the driver or if they choose to do so.

Visit https://lnkd.in/gYhc9VvY for additional information.

OccMedMD provides DOT medical certification examinations with same-day appointments for $55. Call TODAY to get your employee's examinations.

There is a one simple action that could save your company massive amounts of money today!

As an occupational medicine physician serving Missouri businesses, I’ve seen firsthand how workplace accidents can disrupt lives, teams, and operations. When an incident happens, one of the most critical steps employers can take is post-accident drug and alcohol testing. It’s not about pointing fingers—it’s about safety, accountability, and protecting everyone involved.

In Missouri, the workers' compensation laws allow for a possible reduction of compensation when an injured worker tests positive for non-prescribed controlled substances or alcohol after an accident. However, many employers do no make post-injury testing part of their standard protocol. By implementing this one step in all post-injury workers' compensation care plans, companies could benefit in several ways in addition to cost savings.

1. Ensuring a Safe Work Environment
Industries like construction, manufacturing, and transportation are the backbone of our economy. But they also carry risks. If an employee is impaired by drugs or alcohol, their reaction time, judgment, and coordination suffer—putting themselves and their coworkers in danger. Testing after an accident helps identify if substance use was a factor, so we can prevent repeat incidents and keep workplaces safe.

2. Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Missouri employers aren’t just responsible for their teams—they’re accountable under state and federal laws. For example, the Department of Transportation (DOT) mandates post-accident testing for certain roles, like commercial drivers. Even in non-DOT settings, conducting these tests can protect your business from liability and show you’re serious about following best practices.

3. Supporting Fairness and Clarity
After an accident, questions swirl: What happened? Who’s at fault? Post-accident testing provides objective data to cut through the noise. It ensures no one is unfairly blamed and helps determine the root cause—whether it’s impairment, equipment failure, or something else. This clarity is vital for workers’ compensation claims, insurance processes, and maintaining trust within your team.

4. Deterrence and Prevention
When employees know testing is standard after an incident, it sends a clear message: impairment isn’t tolerated. This proactive approach can deter substance use on the job, reducing the likelihood of accidents in the first place.

At OccMedMD, we’ve worked with countless businesses across Missouri to implement effective post-accident testing programs. We’re here to make the process seamless and compliant. Accidents happen—but with the right response, we can minimize their impact and keep our workplaces thriving.

Have questions about setting up a testing protocol? Reach out to us at OccMedMD. Let’s keep Missouri workers safe, together.
