| 4 – 15. Managing drug test results and medical reviews a. The FTDTLs will post drug test results on the Web portal located at https://iftdtl.amedd.army.mil. The ASAP managers, DTCs, and BACMs will register with the Web portal to download the test results for their installation, and will then forward the test results to the respective commanders in a secure fashion that complies with the provisions of the Privacy Act and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act HIPAA. The commander will receive their unit results but should also designate another responsible individual in writing to receive the results for him or her as an alternate for the command if needed. b. If there is a flaw in the specimen or the accompanying forms or package, the FTDTL will decide if the discrepancy makes the specimen non-testable. The FTDTL will not test a specimen with a fatal discrepancy because the discrepancy will prevent the specimen from being used as acceptable evidence during administrative or disciplinary proceedings. The FTDTL will test all nonfatal discrepancies. The FTDTL will record and post all discrepancies to its Web portal. c. Both the ASAP and the FTDTL will maintain negative test results for 1 calendar year after the FTDTL reporting date and positive results for 3 calendar years after the FTDTL reporting date. d. If the ASAP manager, DTC, or BACM receives a positive drug result that was posted to the FTDTL and requires a medical review, the ASAP staff will forward the result to the commander and the MRO. The MRO will make a determination of Authorized or Illegitimate Use and update DAMIS with their determination. In deployed areas, where the MRO is unable to access DAMIS, then a SF 513 (Medical Record - Consultation Sheet) will be forwarded to the unit servicing ASAP for input into DAMIS. This process should take no longer than 90 days for Reserve Component deployed areas. The process to conduct MRO reviews is outlined in figure 4 – 1, below. e. All Soldiers who test positive for illicit drug use must be evaluated by the BH clinic fora SUD evaluation. Soldiers receiving a positive UA test for an illicit drug that is determined to be authorized use by a MRO review do not require evaluation. f. Before reporting a Soldier’s positive UA results for illicit substances to their commander, the ASAP manager, DTC or BACM will review the Soldier’s past UA results in DAMIS to determine if the Soldier has a previous positive UA results for illicit substances . The ASAP manager, DTC or BACM will notify the Soldier’s commander of all positive UA results for illicit substance in the Soldier’s career and any previous enrollments in the SUDCC for treatment that are in the Soldier’s records. |
