Hair

I was told 90 days.

That’s what I thought but wasn’t sure. I was on hydrocodone for 3 weeks for a surgery and IPN was aware so if i were to get a hair test and it came up within that window I would imagine I’d be okay since they knew ahead of time?

I would think so. I don’t believe even they could take action on what they already knew. You went through the proper channels (notification, copy of scripts, etc.) so they can’t do a bloody thing to you. Doesn’t mean they wouldn’t try.

i find it very sad that the trust factor on these people is so low that we all even worry about stuff like this. I’ve put off quite a bit of my own medical care because I don’t care to ‘ask permission’ to have something done.

honestly though, I would not worry about it.

If you reported it correctly and they have accepted it then why would you worry? I've had to be on medications and gave the proper documentation with no problems.

Also, you can always double check with your program the more you communicate the more you show you are being proactive with nothing to hide. Good luck!
