Also known as: Serum Drug Screen, 13 Panel
Use
Detect the presence of abused and prescribed drugs.
Special Instructions
If a reflex test is performed, additional charges and CPT codes will apply. It is essential to note that tubes with separator gels should not be used for specimen collection.
Limitations
The test may not detect all possible drugs or their metabolites. False positives and negatives can occur due to cross-reactivity with other substances or improper sample handling. It is important to confirm presumptive positives using definitive methods like mass spectrometry, as this test initially screens using immunoassay methodologies.
