Public Safety Medical

What Public Safety Medical does

Public Safety Medical (PSM), founded in 1990 by Dr. Steven Moffatt in Indianapolis, Indiana, is a privately-held occupational health consultancy that delivers medical and psychological evaluations exclusively for public safety personnel — firefighters, EMS, and law enforcement. The firm operates from a single Indianapolis headquarters at 6612 East 75th Street and supplements in-office visits with weekly on-site service delivery across Indiana and surrounding states (documented customers in Illinois and Ohio). Its customer base comprises 200+ public safety agencies, anchored by Indianapolis Fire Department, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, Indiana State Police, Fishers Fire Department, Lafayette Police Department, Dayton Fire Department, and Chicago Firefighters Union Local 2, alongside transit-driver engagements. The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, leveraging Dr. Moffatt's seats on national committees (IAFF/IAFC Wellness-Fitness Task Force, IACP Medical Advisory Section, NIOSH Firefighter Cardiovascular Mortality Study Advisory Board, NFPA 1582 Technical Committee, ACOEM Wellness Task Force) and exclusive "Official Medical Provider" designations from the Indiana Association of Chiefs of Police and Indiana Fire Chiefs Association.

PSM's product portfolio centers on a fee-for-service evaluation stack — applicant/post-offer evaluations, medical clearance, OSHA respirator clearance with quantitative Portacount fit testing, comprehensive wellness evaluations aligned to NFPA 1582 and the IAFF/IAFC Wellness-Fitness Initiative, fitness-for-duty evaluations (including the ClearPath™ off-site variant), psychological evaluations (pre/offer, fit-for-duty, special-unit selection with two-psychologist review for court defensibility), a 10-14 week Fitness Rehabilitation Program, and annual wellness physicals. Underlying the services are two proprietary client portals — OnMed (reporting, scheduling, certificate access) and Medikeeper (medical records, HRA results, coaching, exercise tracking) — plus an outcomes management system that captures 190 data points per client per year across a database of tens of thousands of public safety professionals. The firm operates at the intersection of occupational medicine, public safety compliance, and medico-legal defensibility, with court-tested evaluation methodologies and formal research collaborations with Harvard University School of Public Health, Indiana University School of Medicine, University of Maryland, and Oregon Health & Science University, channeled in part through its affiliated not-for-profit, the National Institute for Public Safety Health (granted 501(c)-equivalent status in October 2015).

PSM's revenue model is primarily professional services — fee-per-evaluation billing for medical and psychological assessments, with departments often able to pass a portion of evaluation costs (e.g., 50% via credit/debit card) to applicants — combined with a recurring annual wellness physical layer. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts are quoted department-by-department. Channel distribution relies on direct enterprise sales, on-site service trips, and integrations such as Acuity Scheduling for applicant scheduling, with marketing conducted largely through industry committee involvement and proprietary events (annual Fire/EMS and Law Enforcement wellness-fitness symposia, Ignite PFT Functional Movement Workshops). PSM was the first recipient of the ACOEM Corporate Health Achievement Award (1999) for work with Marion County public safety employees and is HIPAA-compliant across its portal and records infrastructure. The firm is privately held with no disclosed outside investors or parent company (an Ascension.org careers link appears to be an HR/recruiting channel), and revenue, funding, and headcount figures are not publicly disclosed.
