DRUGSCAN Services Benefit Patient Care

DRUGSCAN toxicology testing offers greater sensitivity at lower cutoffs for better accuracy so that clinicians can treat patients confidently, whether they choose from urine drug testing (UDT) or oral fluid testing (OFT). With more than 35 years of toxicology experience, we offer you:

  • A wide range of tests—standard panels, single tests and custom panels are available.
  • Laboratory-developed tests that detect substances commercial tests often can’t identify.
  • Fast turnaround time (TAT)—upon receipt of specimens, 98 percent of results are reported in 24 – 48 hours.
  • Efficient test ordering and results—use a bidirectional interface or DRUGSCAN’s convenient Client Portal to order tests, view results and print PDFs.
  • Complete logistics coordination—we’ll arrange for all specimen pick-ups at your designated locations.
  • Direct access to expertise—by calling our Toxicology Hotline, you can speak directly with one of our PhD board-certified toxicologists for help with interpreting test results.
  • Personalized customer care—from ordering supplies to billing questions, expect fast, friendly and knowledgeable service, from a live person who answers the phone.
