• Is drug testing covered by my insurance?

  If the drug test is a pre-employment requirement or required by your employer, your employer will cover the cost of the test and will usually send you to a specific lab or draw station to facilitate the test.

It is possible, depending on your plan, that you could submit the receipt to your insurance requesting reimbursement.

• What is the most accurate drug test?

  There are many different ways to collect a sample for a drug test including hair, saliva, and sweat, but blood tests are the most accurate.
