How To Fight Pos Drug Test At Dr Office
UpdatedThey say I tested pos for methamphetamine, that was just impossible. I feel like they are trying to get rid of me. I wasn't told to go to the Lab down the hall, I was told to go to the bathroom down the hall. They said my insurance wasn't covered wanted me to change it to DSHS I had to sign a waiver, yet they didn't have a problem with it on my last appt. This is the 4th Dr. I have seen at this clinic because their 'chronic pain' drs keep leaving. All this dr talked about while waiting (til the lab was closed) was illigal drugs. HOW DO I FIGHT THIS? This dr said No dr would give me pain pills in this state. He also made it sound like I have been taking my pills too long and they were too strong. The pos results were impossible and not done by protocall. WHAT CAN I DO?

Hi babydoll,
On the cheaper, less reliable drug tests, it seems as though anything is likely to show up, no matter what you took. I was researching ways in which you may be able to dispute a false positive and I came up on the following information:
"Specific testing, such as that done by a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer, has the ability to distinguish the exact substance in question. This type of testing is not initially performed because of cost, but, is often a follow-up option for those facing serious consequences such as a job loss or jail time."
I think it's down right unfair for companies to not use this type of testing right off the bat, since there are so many false-positives being reported on a daily basis. At this point in time though, the best advice I can offer is that you try to dispute your case by getting re-tested using that method.
I hope this helps!
