At-Home Hair Drug Test Kit: Results Timeline | AMH Nationwide
At-Home Hair Drug Test Kit Results Timeline for Reliable Reporting
The at-home hair drug test kit results timeline typically spans 5 to 7 business days from collection to initial report. Non-negative results undergo confirmation by a certified Medical Review Officer, extending the timeline. Delays can occur due to lab volume or sample issues. Call (877) 731-6362 for assistance.
What is the typical timeline for at-home hair drug test kit results?
The typical timeline for at-home hair drug test kit results is 5 to 7 business days from the date the sample is collected at a national lab network site until the initial report is available. This includes routing the sample through one of AMH’s five national lab networks: Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, Omega Labs, United States Drug Testing Labs, or ExperTox.
How is the at-home hair drug test sample processed after collection?
After you provide the hair sample at the designated collection site, the sample is sent to the assigned lab network for analysis. The lab performs a thorough screening to detect drugs within the hair strands, focusing on a detection window of up to 90 days. The process includes initial screening and, if necessary, confirmatory testing.
What happens if the at-home hair drug test kit results are non-negative?
If the initial screening shows non-negative results, the sample undergoes a confirmation test using more specific methods such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Every non-negative screen is reviewed by a certified Medical Review Officer (MRO) as part of standard processing. This confirmation and review add additional days to the results timeline.
What factors can delay the at-home hair drug test kit results timeline?
Several factors can delay the timeline for receiving results:
High lab volume or backlogs
Sample quality issues requiring recollection or retesting
Complexity of confirmation testing for non-negative results
Administrative processing and Medical Review Officer review
