Cost-saving tips for DOT drug testing
- Join the consortium: Annual membership ($99.00/yr) reduces each urine test from $89.95 to $69.95. If selected 2+ times/year, membership pays for itself.
- Order online: goMDnow online ordering avoids phone-based processing fees that some providers charge.
- Same collection visit: If both a urine and breath alcohol test are required (e.g., post-accident), schedule at the same collection site visit to minimize employee time off.
- No hidden fees: goMDnow's prices include lab processing, MRO review, and results delivery. No add-ons at checkout.
Prices current as of June 2026. All DOT drug testing at goMDnow uses SAMHSA-certified laboratories including Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, and Clinical Reference Laboratory. Results are reviewed by a licensed Medical Review Officer (MRO) before delivery. No membership required for one-time orders.
