Why buyers choose VestMed

Three reasons buyers pick VestMed

Clearance is the whole product

Hardware companies sell respirators and treat clearance as a side service. VestMed is a focused health-and-safety software company. Our PLHCPs review every MEQ on our proprietary algorithm, end-to-end.

Per-use pricing, no monthly fees

Pay only for clearances completed. No per-seat license. No platform minimums. Reseller-friendly and built to scale with seasonal hiring, turnarounds, and project mobilizations.

Cleared on a phone, in Spanish, before the break ends

Most workers receive near-instant clearance through the proprietary algorithm. Deferments get a PLHCP call-back. English and Spanish interfaces. Mobile-first by design.

Frequently asked

Honest answers to the questions buyers actually ask

We already use the occ-health clinic. Why switch?

Total cost is the issue. A clinic visit is the visit plus paid travel plus lost productivity. Most VestMed customers report 60 to 80 percent time savings by clearing workers at the workstation in about 5 minutes. Use clinic capacity for what only clinics can do.

Is an online MEQ OSHA-defensible?

The MEQ meets 29 CFR 1910.134(e) and (m)(1). Every evaluation is PLHCP-reviewed by a state-licensed clinician. Records are retained for 30 years and exported as audit-ready PDFs.

What about HIPAA?

MEQs are stored separately from employment records and encrypted using HIPAA-compliant storage. The employer sees cleared or not cleared, never the underlying health data.

We have a nurse practitioner on staff.

Run the math on FTE cost, downtime, and off-site travel against per-MEQ pricing. The VestMed model frees clinical staff to do higher-value work and produces the audit trail automatically.

Paper MEQs are free.

Free at intake, expensive on the back end. The employer ends up holding Protected Health Information, which is a HIPAA exposure. The paper path also fails on retention, retrieval, and audit speed.

Can resellers use the platform with their book of accounts?

Yes. Per-use pricing, white-label-friendly branding, and a model built to fit the safety reseller channel. Ask us about partner terms.
