Hair Analysis Test Cost and What Influences It
Hair analysis test cost depends on the drug panel selected and detection window. AMH Nationwide routes collections through five national lab networks to ensure accuracy. Pricing varies, so contact us directly. Call (877) 731-6362.
What determines hair analysis test cost?
Hair analysis test cost depends primarily on the number of drugs tested and the detection window required. Panels can range from a few substances to extensive multi-drug screenings. The complexity of the test and the laboratory network used also impact pricing.
AMH Nationwide uses five national lab networks: Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, Omega Labs, United States Drug Testing Labs, and ExperTox. This ensures consistent quality but may cause cost variations depending on the lab.
How do I get a hair analysis test ordered?
AMH Nationwide provides the lab order and directs the requester to a collection site. There is no option to order tests online directly. To start the process, you must call (877) 731-6362 to speak with a representative who will facilitate the order.
This process ensures proper chain of custody and compliance with regulations. Collection sites are nationwide, making access convenient for employers, courts, probation officers, and individuals.
What is the detection window and accuracy of hair analysis tests?
Hair analysis tests typically detect drug use over approximately 90 days. Hair grows about half an inch per month, so a 1.5-inch hair sample reflects roughly three months of drug exposure.
The test is highly accurate in detecting drug metabolites embedded in the hair shaft. Passive exposure is unlikely to produce a positive result at confirmatory levels, as testing follows strict laboratory protocols and is reviewed by a certified Medical Review Officer.
Which labs process hair analysis tests for AMH Nationwide?
AMH Nationwide routes hair analysis testing through five national lab networks: Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, Omega Labs, United States Drug Testing Labs, and ExperTox. Each lab is accredited and complies with SAMHSA, CAP, and CLIA standards.
This multi-lab approach allows AMH to serve a broad client base with consistent quality and timely results. Every non-negative screen undergoes review by a certified Medical Review Officer as part of the standard process.

Can hair analysis tests be used for DOT-regulated drug testing?
Hair analysis tests are not used for DOT-regulated safety-sensitive drug testing. The Department of Transportation mandates federally certified urine testing under 49 CFR Part 40 for these roles.
Hair testing is permitted for non-DOT roles where extended detection windows are beneficial. Employers should ensure compliance with applicable regulations when selecting hair analysis testing.
Can hair analysis tests be beaten or evaded?
Hair analysis tests are difficult to evade due to the nature of drug metabolites binding to the hair shaft. Attempts to alter or cheat the test can be detected by the laboratory’s protocols.
AMH Nationwide and its labs follow strict procedures to identify adulteration or substitution. There is no scientifically supported method to reliably beat a properly conducted hair analysis test.
How much does a hair analysis test cost?
Hair analysis test cost varies depending on the specific drug panel and detection window requested. Additional factors include the chosen lab network and administrative fees.

Hair collection is minimally invasive, requiring a small sample cut close to the scalp, usually from the crown area.
Hair analysis may detect one-time drug use, but detection depends on timing relative to hair growth and drug incorporation.
No. DOT-regulated testing requires federally certified urine testing protocols under 49 CFR Part 40. Hair testing is for non-DOT roles.
