All About Med-Track

What is Med-Track ?

Med-Track is a Health Monitoring Program administered by International SOS in Paris, France for Schlumberger's high mobility population.

It is a targeted medical examination that can be performed in any medical center chosen by Schlumberger employees or Potential New Hires (pre-employees).

For international employees (IM, IC, GM) covered by Cigna Global Health Services, Med-Track is paid for by the Schlumberger Health plan.
For all other high mobility employees (HCM, HCC and HCR > 30 days), Med-Track is paid by the Schlumberger location.

Objective :
To ensure that high mobility staff employees and their dependants where applicable are fit to travel, work and live outside their country of permanent residence and to maintain a confidential medical record for each individual that can be used in case of emergencies, hospitalization or medical evacuation.

The Med-Track physical includes:

• A complete clinical examination
• Blood, urine and stool analyses
• Chest X-ray
• Electrocardiogram (resting)
• Vaccination updating

For pre-employment physicals, it also includes:

• Drug screening

Who is eligible:
Schlumberger people eligible for a Med-Track physical are:

• International Commuters (IC):
• International Mobiles (IM): Employees and their dependants who travel or live on a permanent or long-term basis outside their home country, usually in a high health risk area.
• GeoMobile (GM)
• Home Country Mobile(HCM)
• Home Country Residents (HCR) and Home Country Commuters (HCC) spending more than 30 days per year outside their home country and in a high health risk country.

Due to the international nature of the Med-Track program and Schlumberger, all information is managed in English.

Note: Med-Track physicals cannot be used for other organizations or companies, i.e. Seafarer's Medical, etc.

 

Frequency of Physicals

When a new employee is hired and before signing their contract with Schlumberger, they must undergo, where legally acceptable, a Med-Track pre-employment physical.

• The pre-employment checkup is the only means of determining if someone is medically fit for the position and geographic location for which they are recruited.

Every three years, there is a periodic checkup.

• International SOS Paris sends a reminder letter by e-mail informing registered employees that they need to undergo their next full Med-Track physical.
• All employees, where legally acceptable, must attend checkups.

An employee may have a physical more often than every three years if required.
