12-Month Hair Drug Test: Cost & Pricing | AMH Nationwide
12-Month Hair Drug Test Cost Factors and How to Get a Quote
The 12-month hair drug test cost depends on several factors including the size of the drug panel, detection window, chain-of-custody requirements, and turnaround times. Prices vary by specific testing needs and lab networks involved. For detailed pricing and to schedule testing, call (877) 731-6362.
What is a 12-month hair drug test?
A 12-month hair drug test detects drug use over the previous year by analyzing a longer length of hair than standard tests. This test uses a hair sample, typically up to 1.5 inches or more, to provide a detection window of up to 12 months. It is commonly used by employers, legal entities, and individuals who need extended drug use history.
What factors influence the 12-month hair drug test cost?
The 12-month hair drug test cost varies based on multiple factors that affect laboratory processing and service levels.
How is the 12-month hair drug test performed and processed?
The test requires a hair sample collected at an authorized collection site arranged by AMH Nationwide. The hair is sent to one of five national lab networks for analysis. Every non-negative screen is reviewed by a certified Medical Review Officer to confirm results. AMH provides the lab order and directs the requester to a collection location; there is no online ordering.
Why does the 12-month hair drug test cost vary so much?
Pricing varies because hair drug tests are customized based on the specific panel requested, detection window length, and service options. For example, a broader panel testing for more substances or a shorter turnaround time will cost more. Additionally, chain-of-custody protocols add administrative steps that increase price.
Because AMH routes tests through multiple certified labs, pricing structures differ. For this reason, it is important to contact AMH directly for a current and accurate quote tailored to your testing needs.
