How we help
We help you ask about fees and availability. You choose whether to book.
Enter your ZIP code and contact details. You can also tell us whether you prefer an in-person or remote appointment.
We review your request before any provider can access your details. If suitable participating providers are available, up to three may be approved to access your request and contact you about their fees and availability.
Ask what is included, check the provider’s qualifications and compare appointment options. There is no payment to submit your request and no obligation to book.
Providers may pay to access your request and contact details, as explained in your consent and our referral disclosure. Three responses or an appointment are not guaranteed.

Comparing SAP quotes
Before choosing an SAP, compare what each provider charges, what the quoted fee includes and how the appointment will take place.
Your chosen SAP carries out the evaluation and makes the clinical recommendations. We help with the introduction.
Ask for SAP quotesUnderstanding the SAP process
The evaluation is one part of the return-to-duty process.
The recommendations and timing depend on your circumstances. Your SAP determines the education or treatment you need and assesses your compliance.
A quote request does not begin an evaluation or authorize you to return to safety-sensitive work.
Read the return-to-duty guideOfficial guidance: DOT Substance Abuse Professionals, SAP evaluation requirements and return-to-duty requirements.
A DOT-qualified SAP assesses your situation and recommends education or treatment.
You complete the education or treatment recommended by the SAP. What is required and how long it takes depend on the SAP’s recommendations and your circumstances.
The SAP evaluates whether you have successfully complied with the recommendations.
After the SAP determines successful compliance, an employer that intends to return you to safety-sensitive work arranges the required return-to-duty test. The required negative drug test and/or qualifying alcohol result must be received before those duties resume.
If you return, the employer implements the SAP’s follow-up testing plan. Completing the SAP process does not guarantee employment or a return-to-work date.

In-person and remote evaluations
We use your ZIP code to identify your state. Providers must confirm whether they can serve your location, their appointment format and current availability.
A SAP may conduct an initial or follow-up evaluation remotely at the SAP’s discretion when their state-issued license or other credential does not prohibit it. DOT requires real-time audio and video and technology sufficient for the SAP to conduct the evaluation securely and effectively.
DOT SAP Program is an independent quote-request service, not a treatment provider or government agency. Our mailing address is not an evaluation clinic.
Understand remote SAP evaluationsBefore you request quotes
Know what to expect before choosing a provider.
You can request up to three quotes. Responses depend on suitable providers being available for your location and needs. Three quotes are not guaranteed.
Yes. There is no charge to submit a request through this website and no obligation to book. SAP providers set their own fees for evaluations and other services.
Your ZIP code helps us identify your state, rather than rank providers by distance. Ask responding providers about their office location, travel requirements and any permitted remote options.
Before booking, ask the provider to confirm their current DOT SAP qualifications and whether they can practice where you are located. Requesting a quote is not a credential check.
Not automatically. Required return-to-duty testing and the employer’s decision are separate from the SAP’s assessment of compliance. You must not resume safety-sensitive duties until the applicable requirements have been met.
Request SAP quotes
Submitting a request is free, and you are not required to book with a provider who contacts you.
