What is the minimum balance funds required on tpapn drug test? I thought you paid for the drug test upfront at the location? Does it cost to have the account maintained at every test?
also what is the minimum hair length for testing? Is it 1.5in and if so what do men do if they are bald?
Thanks

Here, in Florida, nail testing can take the place of hair testing. They also don't need to take hair from your head.
For Affinity, which may not be the same in Texas, we can deposit when we are selected for testing.
Yes it is affinity.
Do you pay for the test on the spectrum account? Or do you pay for the test at the clinic?
I'm not sure what spectrum is, but when I sign on to affinity and push the button to see if I've been selected, it will take me through a series of steps if I have been selected. When I go to process the test, if my balance is zero, it will prompt me to deposit funds. That's when you enter your account information and the amount you wish to deposit.

If it's urine you will pay on the. Affinity site. You can pay as you go with a credit card. If it's a puff test you'll have to pay a $30 draw fee at the lab.
Nail and hair testing is rarely done.

I pay a certain amount ( usually $49) on the affinity app then the lab charges me $29 which I pay at the lab at check in.
You said you are TPAPN. I am TPAPN. Other programs are different. So I can tell you from experience from the same program. Hair and nail is rarely done. Drug test cost are $55 / urine. I have tested option 1 - 5 and it's all the same price. No cost when you're at the lab unless it's PETH or hair/nail. Now, since we're in the same program and I've been doing it for two years and nine months I think my answer is pretty accurate. And no there is no cost from the site. You will log in daily to see if you test, if you do it will take you to the page where you depsite the money. Once done you will be able to activate the text . Only lab cost would be if you went someplace like care now, in other words an emergency place that is not on you TPAPN list.

I do what Perse does. I will deposit exactly what the cost is and only that. I refuse on principle to keep money on account with these people and I sure as **** don’t allow them to “store” my credit card information. I think it is very sneaky that you actually have to manually scroll down and opt out of them retaining that info. One time I did not untick that little box and an email to Affinity was returning with “we’ll refer your request to IT.” Uh, huh, you do that. I’m now very careful. Trust is not the first word that springs to mind with these clowns.
I, also on principle and because I’m cheap (or broke) refuse to go anywhere except LabCorp. I’m not giving up a cent more than I absolutely must. I’ve (thus far, but who knows) only had pee and in the last 8 months the blood for no explicable reason and that’s all LabCorp.
TPAPN doesn't use LabCorp. They use Quest labs only.
