Blood Test

Been in monitoring for 4 years now and just got slapped with my first blood test! A whopping $110! Is this common in the last year? Should I be saving back some extra cash for these more expensive tests?

$110 is excessive but hey, it is what it is. I would shop around for prices and also have an extra $500 or so just stashed for "tests." The last thing you want is for your contract to start all over again because you missed a blood test or whatever else is ordered.

I had a dilute urine and the follow up was a hair follicle test. $225. But I've never had blood.

I had a hair test my first year after a dilute and i remember it being quite costly! Not to mention, the bald spot! I am thinking the blood test is a Peth. I had a false positive for ETG approximately 2 months ago. I had an untreated UTI that caused fermentation in my urine resulting in the false positive. I freaked for a solid week over it but the MRO ruled out alcohol intake. But the program probably doesn't believe it and the Peth is a more definitive test for alcohol consumption. Just an inconvenience with the money!

I saw your other post where you had a positive UDS. that's probably why

Who knows with them! Had a dilute urine last week for the first time and now getting a blood test today. Had my first hair test during my first month in the program! All have been negative! The dilute urine is probably the reason for the blood for me. Good luck! They are indeed expensive!
