Common Questions About Concentra Alternatives
Is online respirator evaluation as good as Concentra?
Yes. Both Concentra and RespiratorTest.com provide OSHA 1910.134 compliant respirator medical evaluations with licensed healthcare professional review.

Both use the mandatory OSHA Appendix C questionnaire and both provide PLHCP-signed certificates accepted by OSHA inspectors.
How much does Concentra charge for respirator medical evaluation?
Concentra does not publish standard pricing for respirator medical evaluations; reported charges typically range from $75-$200 per evaluation depending on location and the services included. RespiratorTest.com charges $17-$22 per evaluation depending on volume, saving $53-$183 per employee compared to Concentra while eliminating travel time, wait times, and appointment scheduling.
How long does it take to get an appointment at Concentra for respirator evaluation?
Concentra appointment wait times typically range from 1-3 weeks depending on location, season, and demand.

Will employers accept online respirator evaluation instead of Concentra?
Yes. OSHA regulations do not require Concentra or any specific clinic provider.

Our certificates have been accepted by employers nationwide for 15,000+ workers with 100% acceptance rate during OSHA audits. Unless your employer specifically mandates Concentra (rare), online evaluations are fully acceptable.
