Healthforce Clinics

We received notification that US Healthworks has purchased the Healthforce clinics in Everett (both 31st Place & Broadway), Tukwila & Seattle, WA. Fortunately, US Healthworks is also an MBG provider, but pricing will be slightly different.

DOT/NDOT drug screen collections: $6.00 (Healthforce was $5.00)
Breath Alcohol Tests: $30.00 (Healthforce was $33.00)

It could take some time for the protocols to be transferred from Healthforce to US Healthworks. Until that happens, your Healthforce pricing will remain in effect. All other services will remain in place.

As we receive more information about this transition, we will post it on our blog at www.mbgmanagement.com. Please feel free to contact our office if there is anything else we can assist you with.

On November 5th we ran our final random selection for year 2009. It is necessary to complete all random selections you receive even if you have reached your annual testing compliance rates (50% for drug and 10% for alcohol). Please note: All random tests for the November selection period should to be completed immediately if you have not yet already done so. Feel free to contact our office if you have any questions about your selections or random drug testing pool and we would be happy to assist you.
