How much is a hair follicle test at LabCorp?
A hair follicle test at LabCorp costs vary depending on the drugs tested and the detection window required. Pricing is not fixed because different panels include various substances and lengths of hair analyzed.
Typically, hair follicle tests are more expensive than urine tests due to the complexity of processing and longer detection windows. For an exact price, you must contact AMH Nationwide directly to discuss your testing needs.

What does a hair follicle drug test at LabCorp detect and how long is the detection window?
A LabCorp hair follicle drug test detects drug metabolites embedded in the hair shaft, providing a detection window of up to 90 days or longer depending on hair length tested.
Common substances include marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, methamphetamines, PCP, and others. Hair testing can identify drug use over weeks to months, unlike urine tests which detect recent use.
Who typically orders hair follicle drug tests at LabCorp?
Hair follicle tests at LabCorp are commonly ordered by employers for pre-employment or random drug screening, courts and probation agencies for compliance monitoring, and individuals for personal or legal reasons.
Due to the longer detection window and low risk of adulteration, hair follicle testing is preferred when a comprehensive drug history is required.
How is a hair follicle test collected through LabCorp?
The hair sample is collected by cutting a small amount of hair close to the scalp, typically from the crown area. The sample length usually covers 1.5 inches of hair to reflect approximately 90 days of drug use.
AMH Nationwide facilitates the lab order and directs you to a LabCorp collection site where trained staff perform the collection following strict chain-of-custody procedures.

How are hair follicle test results processed and reviewed at LabCorp?
LabCorp analyzes the hair sample using advanced chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques to detect drug metabolites accurately.
Every non-negative result undergoes review by a certified Medical Review Officer (MRO) to verify results and assess any legitimate medical explanations before final reporting.
Is hair follicle testing at LabCorp used for DOT-regulated testing?
Hair follicle testing is not approved for DOT-regulated safety-sensitive positions. DOT requires federally certified urine testing protocols under 49 CFR Part 40.
Hair tests are used for non-DOT roles when longer detection windows or specific testing needs arise.
Common Questions
No, AMH Nationwide does not offer online ordering for hair follicle tests. You must call (877) 731-6362 to arrange lab ordering and collection site scheduling.
Results usually take 3 to 7 business days after collection. The exact timing depends on the lab’s workload and specific panel requested.
Hair follicle testing detects drug metabolites incorporated into the hair shaft, which are typically from active use. Passive exposure is unlikely to cause a positive result at laboratory cutoff levels.
All non-negative results are reviewed by a certified Medical Review Officer who will contact you for any legitimate medical explanations before confirming the result.
Hair treatments do not reliably remove drug metabolites from the hair shaft. LabCorp uses methods to detect such tampering, making hair tests highly reliable.
Hair follicle tests require specialized analysis and provide a longer detection window (up to 90 days), which increases complexity and cost compared to urine testing.
