Urine Drug Testing

Urine testing remains the most commonly used drug specimen because of its familiarity, its cost to test, and its detection of a wide range of drugs for inclusion on test panels. A significant problem with urine testing is that it is vulnerable to "cheating" especially in unmonitored collection situations.

The Albert M. Higley Co.

For over 10 years, Mobile Medical has been the TPA for our non-regulated Drug Free Workplace Program. I can't say enough about the excellent customer service we have consistently received during those years. I've received faster than expected service levels on my requests and the representatives are always pleasant and knowledgeable. Our job sites span four states and are often in remote locations. Mobile Medical assists us to establish new test facilities when we anticipate testing needs outside of their extensive network. They have also gone above and beyond to provide on-site collections at some of our most remote locations.
