A Consortium/Third-Party Administrator (C/TPA) means a service agent that provides or coordinates one or more drug and/or alcohol testing services for Department of Transportation (DOT)-regulated employers.
C/TPAs typically provide or coordinate the provision of a number of such services. C/TPAs perform administrative tasks concerning the operation of employers’ drug and alcohol testing programs. This term (C/TPA) includes, but is not limited to, groups of employers who join together to administer, as a single entity, the DOT drug and alcohol testing programs of its members. C/TPAs are not “employers” for the purpose of Part 382 and Part 40 regulations.
