Medical Review Officer Services - HR

The Jefferson Parish Government is soliciting qualifications for Medical Review Officer (MRO) services to support its substance use program through the Human Resources Management department. The selected vendor will be responsible for the review, interpretation, and evaluation of drug and alcohol testing results for both current and prospective employees. Key deliverables include conducting medical interviews to determine alternate explanations for positive results, performing medication reviews, and providing expert witness testimony in state or federal courts. To be eligible, proposers must maintain a physical practice on either the East Bank or West Bank of Jefferson Parish, hold a current Louisiana State Medical License in good standing, and be accredited by SAMHSA or the American Association of Medical Review Officers. The procurement process is funded through the General Fund, with proposals evaluated based on the cost of services, which includes record reviews, consultations, and office visits. The Jefferson Parish Council reserves the right to award the contract to one or more vendors. Applicants must submit a Statement of Qualifications and a Human Resource Management Questionnaire via the electronic supplier portal by October 30, 2026. Required submissions must also include documentation of legal business status, disclosure of any affiliations with drug testing laboratories, and a history of any MRO-related litigation from the past two years. Additionally, awarded contractors must provide proof of insurance conforming to Parish resolutions to avoid contract suspension or termination.
