Every non-negative result undergoes review by a certified Medical Review Officer to ensure accuracy and proper interpretation.

How are 10-panel urine drug test results processed and reported?
All urine specimens are analyzed at one of five national lab networks: Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, Omega Labs, United States Drug Testing Labs, or ExperTox.
Initial screening uses immunoassay methods. Any non-negative results are confirmed with more specific testing such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
A certified Medical Review Officer reviews all non-negative results to verify accuracy and evaluate any legitimate explanations before final reporting.
Is the 10-panel urine drug test compliant with DOT regulations?
The 10-panel urine drug test can be used for non-DOT workplace drug screening but does not replace the federally mandated DOT urine drug test protocol.
DOT-regulated safety-sensitive testing requires adherence to 49 CFR Part 40 standards, which specify collection procedures and analytes.
Hair testing is not accepted for DOT drug testing programs. AMH Nationwide follows these regulations strictly.
