Drug Testing Programs

New Era Drug Testing’s drug testing programs offers result reporting via online, fax, or phone response. Our programs also offer great turnaround times, typically 24 to 48 hours for reporting of results from time of collection. New Era also offers Medical Review Officer (MRO) services, random drug testing administration, and sample policy and procedures to begin your drug testing program.

Program One: Off-Site Urine Drug Testing
Program One is a urine drug screen that can test for 5, 9, or 10 panels (drugs). Regardless of the number of drugs you want tested, the price remains the same. Included in the test is collection using our patient service centers, legal confirmation at our certified labs, and chain of custody forms. An adulterants check, which tests for substances people ingest to mask the presence of drugs in their system, is also included at no additional charge. Program One (5-panel) can be used for Department of Transportation testing with the addition of our MRO Service on all of your results.

Program Two: Drug and Alcohol Testing
Program Two is a Urine Drug Screen with the same panel selection as Program One plus the addition of Alcohol testing on the sample. The additional Alcohol panel is ideal for post accident, reasonable suspicion and post offer hiring situations.

Program Three: Hair Drug Testing
Program Three is Hair Testing by Psychemedics, which offers the first internationally patented technology to analyze hair follicles for drugs of abuse. This program tests for 5 drugs (panels) in the hair sample, including Ecstasy. Hair samples, which provide a drug history over a 90-day period, may be collected on-site or by various collection sites. This program also includes legal confirmation of the samples, chain of custody forms and courier service. The hair test cannot be evaded; drug residues remain permanently entrapped in the hair and cannot be washed or bleached out thus providing a non-intrusive and cost effective form of drug testing. Negative results have a 24-hour turnaround time, positive results are reported within 48-72 hours, and results are reported online through New Era’s secure web site.

Medical Review Officer (MRO) Service
New Era also offers an MRO service for clinical interpretation of results by a licensed M.D. who is also educated about drugs of abuse. The MRO service can be added to any of the programs and you can have MRO reviews conducted on only positive results or all of your results whether positive or negative. Our MRO will contact the donor to discuss pertinent information regarding his or her drug test result in order to rule out a possible positive which may have been caused by a prescription medication. Once the MRO can confirm that a legitimate prescription is held by the donor a result can be overturned and reported by the MRO to New Era and then the employer. If no evidence is presented to the MRO to prove the result may have been caused by another substance other than an illegal drug, the MRO will report the result as a positive. MRO’s offers a 72 hours window for the donor to respond with evidence before they report the result as is.
