Urine lab or instant, same price. No-THC panels priced the same as their standard counterparts.
Every price is all-in — collection, laboratory analysis, and Medical Review Officer review are included. If an instant test comes back non-negative, confirmation testing at the laboratory is included at no additional charge.
Observed collection: add $50.
Hair and oral fluid testing available in all panels — call for pricing.
Prices apply to scheduled collections at network collection sites.
Turnaround. Negative lab results are typically available in 24–48 hours. Instant tests read on the spot, so a negative is same-day. A non-negative takes longer: it goes to the laboratory for confirmation, and then to the Medical Review Officer, who has to reach the donor to check for a valid prescription. That last step depends on the donor answering, so we don't quote a fixed turnaround for a non-negative result.
What the MRO does. Drug testing came out of the workplace, where a positive result has to be separated from the legitimate use of a prescribed medication. That's the Medical Review Officer's job: a licensed physician reviews every non-negative result with the donor, verifies any valid prescription, and reports the result accordingly. It protects the employee's privacy and protects you from acting on a result that has a lawful explanation. Included on every test we run.

Not sure if you need DOT or Workplace testing?
DOT testing applies when your employees are regulated by a federal agency — FMCSA (truck/bus drivers), FAA (aviation), FRA (rail), FTA (transit), PHMSA (pipeline), or USCG (maritime). Panels, cutoffs, and procedures are dictated by 49 CFR Part 40. You don't get to choose what's tested or how.
Workplace (non-DOT) testing applies to every other employment context. The panel, cutoffs, reasons, and procedures are set by your company policy. You have flexibility — which also means you have more decisions to make.
If you operate a mixed workforce (some DOT-regulated, some not), we handle both programs under one roof. Your DOT drivers go through the federal program, everyone else goes through your workplace policy.
Workplace testing reasons we handle.
Whether you're running a single pre-employment screen or a full random-selection program for 200 employees, we handle every workplace testing reason.
Pre-employment
Standard condition-of-employment screen before a new hire starts. Can be tailored to role risk level.
Random
Unannounced testing drawn from your pool. We manage the random selection schedule and employee notifications.
Reasonable suspicion
When trained supervisors observe indicators of use on the job. We provide supervisor training documentation to back the decision.
Post-accident
After a workplace incident, subject to your policy's accident-definition thresholds. Same-day collection available.
Return-to-duty
After a violation, before the employee returns to safety-sensitive work. Can be observed per your policy.
Follow-up / monitoring
Ongoing unannounced testing after a return-to-duty, for a duration set by your policy.
Flexible panels, your choice.
Unlike DOT testing (locked to a federal 5-panel), you pick the panel that matches your industry risk profile, state laws, and company policy.
Oral fluid testing
A simpler collection than urine — swab taken under direct observation, no restroom, no privacy issues, and far harder to adulterate or substitute. Lab-based, available nationwide. 5- and 10-panel, with or without THC. Don't see the panel you need? Ask us — other panels are available. Call for pricing.
Expanded panels (12–16)
Add fentanyl, tramadol, buprenorphine, zolpidem, carisoprodol. Common in healthcare, safety-sensitive manufacturing, and transportation-adjacent roles.
Alcohol testing
Breath alcohol (real-time), urine EtG (24–80 hours), or add EtG to any urine drug panel. Your policy dictates the threshold (0.02, 0.04, 0.08).
Hair testing for patterns
90-day drug history. Used by some employers for pre-employment baselines and post-violation return-to-duty.
Don't have a written testing policy yet?
Every state has different rules about what you can test for, when you can test, who pays, what triggers reasonable suspicion, and what you can do with results — especially around marijuana. A vague or outdated policy exposes you to wrongful-termination claims and unemployment disputes.
We help you draft or review a workplace testing policy that matches your state, industry, and risk tolerance. We'll tell you what we see other clients doing in similar situations, flag the common mistakes, and route you to employment counsel when it's time for legal review.
