So I have had two blood tests in the past two months along with my regular urine tests. One time they sent me to the regular place I go (urgent care) and it was done through a company called Drug Scan. Yesterday they sent me to Labcorp for the blood test O-792074. Both were 99 dollars plus collection fee. I'm assuming this is some kind of alcohol or PETH because I know drugs our out of the blood stream faster than out of urine. Anyone have any ideas?

Were they random blood tests, or due to suspicion? I've never had a blood test, but a friend of mine has and it usually is the PETH. That really sucks though...so expensive!
It is random. IPN has informed everyone that they are doing all these "special tests" on all the participants. I just thought the PETH tests were more than 99 dollars. The monthly costs now for testing are getting out of hand!

That's outrageous! What state are you in?

Can I like this more than once??
There is no ********* reason for any of this garbage other than $$$$$$$$. No suspicion, no questions, no concerns. I can see additional testing for dilutes or missed check ins or such things. I'll even acknowledge a once in a blue moon occasional Suprise! But really? P (and now blood) testing costs have DOUBLED!!! Valuable tool, my orifice.

Does TPAPN do blood test? I've never heard of anyone getting one.

Anyone know what O-764550 is? Is it a urine test? It is $55
I don't think they do unless there's several dilute specimens.
