I am ready to contact tpapn to start. And they already told me I will need an upfront drug test. Does anyone know the cost of the urine / nail / hair / blood test cost.
The guide says says they start at $55 dollars and up. I read one post that said they paid for a test and it was like $350. So I needed to know to make sure I have enough for the initial test.
thanks
Does the urine test have to be observed?

You will likely be tested with option one most frequently, this is a urine test. This and all other urine tests are $55. They generally do not do anything but urine or anything more expensive unless you make yourself seem sketchy.
I do option three or four most the time which are urine tests, which test for about just anything in God's creation, and they are $55 a pop.
If you test positive on a urine and it has to go to the secondary testing, you will have a charge with that again at $55.
If you test positive and the secondary urine does not clear you, then you may have to do a more expensive blood test if they choose to let you
if you pop positive for alcohol and they allow you to clear yourself with a peth blood test, that costs about 180 which included the cost of the lab draw.
In the first six months I averaged one test a month, $55.
After that I avergef two or three tests a month.
The final year if you are granted step down, it averages 18 in a year.
I have 64 days left. Two last tests.
Hi
I was able to go to a quest diagnostic center and only paid $55 online and no site fee. Mine was panel 4. It was not observed.
I am worried I took Tylenol last night. Will that cause a problem?
Tylenol and Motrin, Claritin are ok. Benadryl, Sudafed and cough medicine or not and they do test for those.
Because I have a kidney issue that causes option one, which is the basic ethanol test on the urine, I do option 3 and 4. These two options are extensive in the number of medications they test for prescription and over-the-counter. And yes I have this information from the horse's mouth.
Motrin if taken frequently prior do testing can cause a false positive for marijuana. There is a secondary test that shows this to be a false positive, speaking from experience it is expensive. You will wind to avoid Motrin directly before you test. Generally, as a rule now I don't take it after midnight.
