What Occu-Med does

Occu-Med is a US-based employment medical evaluation company founded in 1979 that provides pre-placement, pre-deployment, post-deployment, fit-for-duty/return-to-work, periodic surveillance, and global immunization evaluations. It serves defense and government contractors (including the Department of Defense and Department of State), public safety agencies (law enforcement, fire departments, EMS), public agencies (state, municipal, special districts), and private companies with safety-sensitive roles. The company reports it has supported more than one million employees across its network and serves 1,000+ public agencies and Fortune 500 companies.

Occu-Med's core technology is its proprietary EXAMQA methodology — a three-dimensional evaluation framework that integrates legal standards (ADA, EEOC compliance), physical job demands analysis, and medical expertise to produce legally defensible placement decisions. Service delivery is coordinated through an aggregated network of approximately 15,000-16,000 medical and dental provider locations spanning all 50 US states, territories, and 50+ countries. Other technology components include a digital assessment platform supporting pre- and post-deployment diagnostics (audiograms, physical exams, hazardous exposure testing) and a self-serve provider search tool with ZIP/address-based radius lookup.

The business operates on a quote-based, per-evaluation pricing model with a sales-led go-to-market. Dedicated Client Services personnel respond to inbound inquiries within 24 hours and handle engagements ranging from a single employee to clients with 118,000+ employees. Revenue streams are predominantly transactional (pre-placement, fit-for-duty, deployment evaluations), with a smaller recurring compliance component from periodic surveillance and OSHA/FMCSA programs. The company is privately held, founder-led since 1979, with no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or public-company ambitions, and operates with a 101-250 employee headcount across headquarters in Fresno, CA and an original founding office in Honolulu.
