Groupings for Drug Panel Tests
Mobile Health will test any specific substances according to an employer’s needs.
Understanding the array of available drug tests can be confusing. Choosing the drug panel test that works best for your company depends on multiple factors, including your industry, the laws governing your industry for drug testing and corporate culture.
For example, the Department of Transportation (DOT) legally requires a standard 5-panel test for all drivers. On the other hand, there are many options for non-DOT drug tests. For example, for home health aides, Mobile Health recommends an 8-panel test. And industries that place a high value on alertness, such as construction and heavy machinery related industries, frequently test 9 or more panels.
