Employment Health Clinic

The Idaho Falls Employment Health Clinic's (IFEHC's) Department of Transportation (DOT) Clinic provides medical examinations for the FMCSA-NRCME Department of Transportation (DOT)-Commercial Driver's License (CDL) cards for truck and bus drivers. However, we more broadly refer to this program as the Employment Health Clinic because of the wide array of services rendered. We offer working adults an employment health clinic open late hours. We charge low prices (listed on the Home page). We use the proceeds to fund our outreach efforts: Accessible Clinic, Paid Internship, and Consumer Advocacy campaigns.

The Employment Health Clinic clinic offers many services:

1. DOT/CDL medical cards
2. Titers (immunity levels)
3. Interpreting tuberculosis skin tests or Quantiferon Gold lab test

5. Respirator medical clearances. As of January 1, 2024; respiratory fit tests.
6. Fitness for duty, including return to work
7. Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

11. Medicolegal consultation

Please note that we do not designate the Employment Clinic to fall under the scope of Idaho's applicable statute on free clinics.  Most of our examinations are covered by employers. Those that are not are either pro bono to examinees or provided at a charitable rate negotiated with the examinee. For employers, we take pride in providing high quality at a reasonable rate. It is difficult to print an exact fee schedule, as certain rates are determined by statute. Statutes (e.g., in different states) may conflict. In addition, we abide by any confidentiality agreements to which we agree with our clients.

Being fitted for a respirator involves two general steps: 1 - medical clearance by a licensed provider and 2 - fitting by an industrial hygienist. Please note that Idaho Falls 

As of January 2024, IFEHC is proud to announce it also provides qualitative respirator fit tests using Bittrex.

Maybe you are a DOT-CDL card holder driving a truck or bus who needs a respirator medical fitness evaluation for HAZMAT program. Or maybe a different industry such as health where individuals face potential biological or other environmental hazards.

Idaho Falls Employment Health Clinic's (IFEHC's) Employment Health Clinic currently offers consultation in the following medicolegal areas.

• Medical Review Officer (MRO)
• Medical Malpractice
• Causation
• Review of Medical Expert Witness 

To referring physicians and referred patients, we are flattered you thought of us. Please be advised of the following:

(1) At no point does Dr. Boren or IFEHC, PLLC guarantee it accepts a case until patients/examinees have been told so.

(2) Even if a service is free, IFEHC reserves the right to charge a fully refundable (minus the cost of refunding) retainer. IFEHC has the right to wait at least 180 days after the service(s) conclude to refund. The purpose of this retainer is to deter individuals from abusing resources, including time.

(3) For medical exams, Dr. Boren is an independent medical examiner. He is NOT a "yes-man". If you are here for a medical exam, you should expect to be given random drug tests with which you are expected to cooperate immediately. As an independent medical examiner, Dr. Boren should be treated as a legal witness.
