DRUG TEST PRICING

Additional Fees That May Apply

Drug testing pricing can vary depending on specific circumstances during the testing process. While standard testing fees cover most routine screenings, the following additional fees may apply when situations require extra services, compliance steps, or third-party involvement.

Common Situational Fees

• Out-of-Network Laboratory Fees
  If a donor utilizes a collection site or laboratory outside of our contracted network, additional charges may apply based on that facility’s pricing.
• Observed Collections
  Certain testing scenarios, such as return-to-duty, follow-up testing, or suspected tampering, may require a directly observed collection. This process involves additional compliance procedures and personnel, which may result in an added fee.
• Donor Refusal to Test
  If a donor refuses to complete the testing process, leaves the collection site, or fails to cooperate, the test may be classified as a refusal and billed accordingly.
• No-Show or Rescheduling Fees
  If a donor does not appear for a scheduled test or fails to complete the test within the required timeframe, a no-show or rescheduling fee may apply.

Additional Situations That May Result in Fees

• Mobile or On-Site Collections
  When a collector is dispatched to a client location, travel and service fees may apply.
• After-Hours or Expedited Testing
  Testing requested outside normal business hours or requiring rush processing may incur additional charges.
• Specimen Recollection
  If a test must be repeated due to an invalid, rejected, or dilute specimen, recollection fees may apply.
• Shy Bladder or Insufficient Specimen Events
  Additional administrative handling or medical evaluation coordination may be required if a donor cannot provide a sufficient sample.
• Positive or Non-Negative Results (MRO Review)
  Tests requiring Medical Review Officer verification, including confirmed positive results, may include additional review and processing fees.
• Split Specimen or Retest Requests
  If a donor requests testing of the split specimen, additional laboratory fees will apply.
• Additional Panel Testing or Custom Screens
  Expanded panels or testing beyond standard configurations may result in additional charges.
• Chain of Custody Corrections
  Errors or missing information requiring documentation correction or reprocessing may incur administrative fees.
• Location Changes After Scheduling
  If a donor’s testing location must be reassigned after scheduling, additional coordination fees may apply.
• Third-Party or Pass-Through Fees
  Any external charges incurred on behalf of the client, including laboratory or collection site fees, will be passed through as applicable.

Note: Additional fees are only applied when specific circumstances require additional services or compliance steps. Whenever possible, these charges are communicated in advance.
