12 Panel Hair MRO Drug Screening

Specimen Type: Hair

Description:

12 Panel Hair Follicle MRO Drug Screening

This test includes an MRO review.  An MRO is a licensed physician who reviews and interprets laboratory results. This helps to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the drug testing process. See below for more details.**

MRO drug tests are priced $30 higher than the equivalent non-MRO test.  A 12-panel Hair Drug Test without MRO is also available for a lower cost with quicker turnaround.

The 12 Panel Hair Follicle test provides testing for common drugs of abuse with a longer detection period than other sample types.  Hair drug testing can typically detect drugs for approximately the past 90 days.  It may take up to 7-10 days after use for drugs to be detectable in hair. 

Because hair follicle testing looks for drug metabolites, external or second-hand exposure should not cause a false-positive result.  However, to ensure the accuracy of your testing, it is still recommended to avoid any type of exposure to substances that may be detectable by a drug test. 

Please note that hair follicle testing may not be ideal for detecting casual or one-time drug use.  This type of test is typically more appropriate for detecting chronic use.  This test provides an initial screening with confirmatory testing on any positive results at no additional cost.  In the event of a positive result, a numerical value will be provided for the level of any substance that are detected.

This hair drug test looks for:

• Amphetamines (including Methamphetamine)
• Barbiturates
• Benzodiazepines
• Cocaine
• Meperidine (Demerol)
• Methadone
• Opiates (Codeine, Morphine, 6-MAM)
• Oxycodone (Oxymorphone) & Hydrocodone (Hydromorphone)
• Phencyclidine (PCP)
• Propoxyphene
• Marijuana (THC)
• Tramadol

**Once the testing is complete, the results will be sent to a Medical Review Officer (MRO).**

• All test results, positive and negative, will be signed by the MRO.
• Negative test results will be reviewed, signed, and released by the MRO without contacting the customer. 
• Positive test results (one or more positive) will be contacted by MRO to review and medications the customer may be taking for documentation.
  
  • The MRO will make 3 attempts to contact the customer.  After 3 attempts, if they are unable to contact the customer, the results will be signed and released.
  • At the MRO's discretion, a positive result may be changed to negative if they can verify that it was caused by medication that was being taken as prescribed. 

Please see our MRO Drug Testing category for a full selection of testing options that include MRO review.  For all other drug testing options, please see our All Drug Testing category.
