Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a drug test take at urgent care?
Urine collection for a drug test takes just a few minutes at the clinic. Preliminary results from a point-of-care cup test may be available within 5–10 minutes. Confirmation testing at an off-site laboratory (required for non-negative results) typically takes 24–72 hours. Results are reported directly to the Medical Review Officer (MRO) per regulatory standards.
Do I need to fast for a pre-employment physical?
Most standard pre-employment physicals do not require fasting. However, if your exam includes a fasting glucose or lipid panel, you may be asked to fast for 8–12 hours beforehand. Confirm fasting requirements with the clinic when you schedule or check in.
Can urgent care treat workers' compensation injuries?
Yes. Many urgent care centers are authorized workers' compensation providers and can treat on-the-job injuries, complete the required documentation, and communicate directly with insurance carriers. Bring your employer's workers' compensation insurance information and any incident report paperwork to your visit.
What is included in a 10-panel drug test?
A standard 10-panel drug screen tests for amphetamines, methamphetamine, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, marijuana (THC), methadone, opiates, phencyclidine (PCP), and propoxyphene. The DOT 5-panel test covers amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, opioids, and PCP. Your employer or MRO specifies which panel is required.
