If your company employs CDL drivers, it must query the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse for every new driver and at least once a year for every current driver, and report certain violations and results. Your company does this in its own account at the FMCSA Clearinghouse, or through a consortium/third-party administrator (C/TPA) it designates there. Med-Stop is not a C/TPA in the Clearinghouse: you cannot designate Med-Stop there, and Med-Stop does not run queries or report violations, return-to-duty results, or follow-up results for your company.

What your company does in the Clearinghouse

1. Buy a query plan from FMCSA in the Clearinghouse.
2. Run a pre-employment full query before a driver first performs safety-sensitive functions for you; the driver gives electronic consent in the Clearinghouse.
3. Run a query at least once a year for every driver; a limited query with the driver's general consent usually meets this requirement.
4. Report the violations and results your company is responsible for by the close of the third business day.

What you may see in Med-Stop

The employer app may still show Clearinghouse information from Med-Stop's former Clearinghouse service. Use it as a reference only; your Clearinghouse account is the record of your queries and reports.

• The Compliance Status section of the Welcome screen may list drivers with Clearinghouse compliance items.
• An employee's History > FMCSA Clearinghouse shows the Clearinghouse information recorded in Med-Stop for that driver.

The Employees menu may include FMCSA Clearinghouse Queries and FMCSA Clearinghouse Reports, and the Company menu may show a Med-Stop TPA status. These screens do not run queries or file reports for your company. Menus depend on your company services and permissions.
