Keep Your Patients Compliant -- and Get Insurance Companies to Foot the Bill

In addiction and pain management settings, drug screening can keep patients on track. And even better, many tests can be billed to insurance.

If youʼre running a pain management or addiction treatment center, urine drug screens can help you ensure that your patients are sticking with their treatment plan. Tox tests (toxicology tests) are especially helpful for people who are undergoing chronic pain treatment or any other type of opioid or substance abuse treatment. They might be a sensitive part of treatment, but theyʼll help everyone see more success.

By administering regular UA (urine analysis) tests, you can keep tabs on drug abuse that patients have failed to report. Whatʼs more, drug screens can help you get to the bottom of issues such as early requests for prescription refills, irregular or lost prescriptions, and other suspicious activity.

Whatʼs more, having a CLIA Certificate means patientsʼ public or private insurance companies regularly reimburse for those point-of-care tests.

The Largest Selection of CLIA-waived POC Tests

At ToxTests.com, we offer the largest online catalog of CLIA-waived point-of-care tests -- meaning youʼre guaranteed to get the screening combination you need for your particular situation. Our Test Cups will test from 4 to 14 different drugs, while our economical Dip Tests are available to test from 2 to 12 drugs. Meanwhile, Cassette Tests are available in multiple panel configurations. Whether you need a urine test that detects natural opioids such as codeine or morphine, a test that detects semisynthetic opioids such as hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxycodone, oxymorphone or buprenorphine, or tests for synthetic opioids such methadone, ToxTests.com has you covered.

Our CLIA-waived drug test panels are available for the following cut-off levels:

  • Amphetamine (AMP): 1000 ng/ml
  • Barbiturates (BAR): 300 ng/ml
  • Buprenorphine (BUP): 10 ng/ml

CLIA Billing Codes to Use
