Taking effect on January 4, 2022, Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) mandate requires employers with 100 or more employees to ensure that each staff member who is not fully vaccinated is tested for COVID-19 at least weekly. Nearly 84 million employees are expected to be impacted, with employers being faced with a penalty of $136,000 per employee. To help companies across the U.S. remain compliant, New York-based DocGo has launched a turnkey solution, providing employers with the tools and resources needed to comply with the COVID-19 vaccination and testing emergency temporary standard (ETS) issued by OSHA. According to DocGo’s President Anthony Capone, this offering is a natural extension to the company’s existing testing and vaccination programs and will serve as an invaluable resource for employers as we continue the ongoing battle against the pandemic. Capone also says the mobile health services and integrated medical mobility solutions company has already received an extremely positive response from human resource teams and benefit consultants. The service is available in markets across the country, including New York, and offers a variety of DocGo's services, such as weekly on-site COVID-19 testing and vaccinations for employees, real-time dashboards for employers, integrated daily reporting to state and CDC databases, and 24/7 medical support including at-home monoclonal antibody infusion treatment and continual checkups for positive employees. "With this mandate, we expect the need for Covid testing to extend for the foreseeable future" said DocGo EVP of Strategy Mike Costa. "We will follow our proven approach of providing Covid testing with the highest levels of customer service, and expand these new relationships to provide additional DocGo concierge medicine services." A trusted provider of mobile health services, DocGo continues to offer COVID-19 testing and vaccinations at scale, and provide concierge medicine services to leading corporate and healthcare clients.
