Drug Screening

Drug Screens are ordered as a part of the screening package you select to place for your individual.
Next, the individual will receive an email invitation where they will provide consent, select a testing location, and schedule a date and time to provide their specimen.
The specimen is sent to the testing laboratory, the laboratory sends the results to the Medical Review Officer, and the results are reviewed, verified, and posted.

Missing a deadline for testing will result in a “Rule Violation” and a Needs Review status. A no show will result in a non-Compliant status. These are final statuses, and do not allow for Drug Screens to be reordered.

Turnaround times depend on when the individual provides their specimen. Once a specimen is provided the test results are typically returned within 3 to 5 business days.
If any further testing is required, results may take up to 10 business days to return.

Rule Violations is when an individual misses their testing deadline. Testing deadlines are set by your program owner. These are final statuses, and do not allow for Drug Screens to be reordered.
