DOT Drug Testing (Federally Mandated Testing – also known as NIDA Drug Testing)
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations require alcohol and drug testing of drivers, who are required to have a commercial driver’s license (CDL). The following tests are required by FMCSA regulations and performed in accordance to 49 CFR Part 40 & 382:
- Pre-employment
- Post-accident
- Reasonable suspicion
- Random
- Return-to-Duty; Follow-up
Drug testing is conducted by analyzing a driver’s urine specimen. The analysis is performed at laboratories certified and monitored by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). All positive drug test results are reviewed and interpreted by a Medical Review Officer (MRO) before they are reported to the employer. All urine specimens are analyzed for the following drugs:
- Marijuana (THC metabolite)
- Cocaine
- Amphetamines
- Opiates (including heroin)
- Phencyclidine (PCP)
Instant Drug Testing - (Non-Federally Mandated also known as Non-NIDA Drug Screen)
Employers can save time with pre-employment hiring schedules as the instant urine drug testing provides quick detection in approximately 10 minutes for Negative results.
- 5 panel tests are available for detection of Marijuana (THC), Cocaine, Opiates, Amphetamines, PCP and adulterants in human urine.
- All Non-Negative Results are sent to our contracted certified DHHS laboratory for confirmation.
- Confirmed positive results from the DHHS laboratory are sent to John Ogrodnick, MD as the certified Medical Review Officer for verification and interview with the applicant/employee before results are reported to the employer.
- Additional panels for the detection of Barbiturates, Benzodiazepines, Methadone Methamphetamine and Nicotine can be included to the traditional 5 panel tests dependent on the employer’s written drug testing policy requirements.
Laboratory Based Drug Testing (Non-Federally Mandated)
Our clinic offers certified lab based testing with two methods of specimen collection dependent on the employer’s written drug testing policy requirements.
- Urinalysis or Hair Testing
- 5 panel tests are available for detection of Marijuana (THC), Cocaine, Opiates, Amphetamines, PCP and adulterants in human urine.

Collection Only
If an employer is contracted with a DHHS Drug Testing Laboratory and has an assigned Medical Review Officer, our clinic will perform a “collection only” of the specimen utilizing the designated lab’s collection cup and required Chain of Custody forms provided by the employer or lab. All collections and required forms will be shipped to designated lab and MRO for analysis and interpretation.
