Urine Drug Testing

MEDGroup utilizes the services of MEDTOX Laboratories for all urine drug screens, unless otherwise specified by a client. MEDTOX is a nationally certified laboratory (DHHS) headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota who is confident in its results and is committed to a high standard of customer service. With MEDTOX, the turnaround time for negative urine drug screen results is typically 24-48 hours. Positive drug screens take additional time for confirmation and the Medical Review Officer (MRO) process.

All MEDGroup urine drug screen collectors are compliant with the DOT’s enhanced urine drug and breath alcohol training requirements as found in 49 CFR Part 40.

Rapid Urine Drug Screen

Through MEDTOX Laboratories, MEDGroup offers its non-federally regulated clients a "rapid" urine drug screen that tests for marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, and phencyclidine in just five minutes. The rapid tests are performed in any of our four centers and a preliminary result is obtained. If a non-negative result is obtained, the specimen is then sent to the MEDTOX Laboratories where gas chromatography / mass spectrometry confirmation testing occurs.

Breath Alcohol Testing

MEDGroup offers both federally regulated and non-federally regulated breath alcohol tests to its clients. All Breath Alcohol Technicians are trained according to DOT regulations as found in 49 CFR Part 40. Results of breath alcohol tests are reported immediately to the employer as we understand the importance of removing employees from safety-sensitive positions if a test is confirmed as positive.

Hair Testing

MEDGroup provides hair drug testing through Omega Labs, located in Mogadore, Ohio. The hair testing includes marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, and phencyclidine, with results typically received within 48-72 hours. All positive hair tests are confirmed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).

Urine Drug Testing Collection Site

MEDGroup is available for third party urine drug screen collections. Your employees can arrive at our center with the appropriate chain of custody forms and testing supplies, and your company or third-party administrator would be billed according to your company’s wishes.
