In adjudicating drug test results, when would no additional information be required?

• A. The test results have been verified by a MRO/MRB
• B. The test results came from a CVR
• C. The test results are older than one year
• D. The test results are missing documentation

Answer: (A)

When a result has been reviewed and verified by a Medical Review Officer (MRO) or Medical Review Board (MRB), it means a qualified professional has checked the lab result, confirmed its accuracy, and addressed any medical explanations or irregularities. That verification brings the adjudication to a final, established point, so no additional information is required to make a determination. If a result comes from a CVR, is older than a year, or lacks documentation, those situations indicate missing steps or time-sensitive policy requirements that would necessitate further information or action before final adjudication.
