Drug test results typically take 24-48 hours, depending on the type of test we perform. If EDTS only serves your business as the collection site for your drug tests, then the results will be reported directly to you from your selected lab/third-party administrator/consortium, and result times may vary.
Our rapid drug screening devices identify negative tests within a matter of 3-8 minutes. Non-negative test results and regulated drug tests must be reviewed by a federally certified (SAMHSA) laboratory, which usually takes between three and five days to compete, but can also sometimes take longer.
Yes, EDTS of the Ozarks complies with all state and federal regulations. We follow CFR 49 Part 40 guidelines and regulatory rulings as the golden rule for all of our testing.
The Department of Transportation’s (DOT) rule, 49 CFR Part 40, describes required procedures for conducting workplace drug and alcohol testing for the Federally regulated transportation industry.
An MRO is a licensed medical doctor who has special training in substance abuse testing. Using an MRO helps to protect both the employer and the employees. MRO review is required for every DOT drug test. EDTS has partnered with eScreen to provide local area employers access to this vital resource.
A parent or legal guardian should accompany a minor to testing if possible. Otherwise, have the parent (or legal guardian) sign a statement that enables the individual accompanying the minor to give permission for billing and services, if necessary. These written statements can be emailed to: hhankel@edtsoftheozarks.com.
The FMCSA grace period for using the old MER/MEC form(s) ended on April 20, 2016. The FMCSA now requires that drivers and medical examiners use only the new forms. All previous versions are not permitted. The forms include:
If you don’t pass part of the exam, you will be disqualified. According to the new FMCSA regulations, a driver who doesn’t pass part of the exam will require an entirely new exam in order to be medically certified. Medical examiners aren’t able to give the driver a “Determination Pending” or “Incomplete” status. By federal law, no exceptions can be made.
One common example: if a driver doesn’t pass the vision or hearing tests, they will be disqualified. Clinicians CANNOT use a “pending” or “incomplete” status to allow the driver to come back at a later date with corrective lenses or a hearing aid they forgot to bring to the exam; he or she will still have to complete an entirely new exam. (This does not mean you will be charged for additional physical, just that we must start the process over again...completely and thoroughly).
Good news! Your treating clinician is now responsible for determining if your insulin regimen is stable and your diabetes is properly controlled. A new form, Insulin-Treated Diabetes Mellitus Assessment Form MCSA-5870, will be required by medical examiners to issue the Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC). This form can be found on our Driver Resources page.
Please have your most recent 30, 60, 90-day compliance download/print out from your treating physician’s office. Otherwise, have your SD card/machine on-hand and we’ll read it for you!
No. The new regulations do not allow certification extensions. The driver will require a completely new exam. We recommend, for this reason, the driver come completely prepared for their exam. This means, at a minimum, a list of ALL medications, eyeglasses, hearing aids, photo ID, and any other documentation routinely required by the examiner, such as a stress test or CPAP download.
