Q&As for Safety-Sensitive Employees

Who pays for my meeting with a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and my treatment program?
The testing regulations do not specify who must pay for an employee's SAP evaluation and treatment program. The employer is required to provide a listing of qualified SAPs to individuals who violate the drug and alcohol testing regulations. Who pays for this evaluation and treatment program is at the discretion of the employer.
