Common Testing Reasons
Employers use goMDnow to support practical drug and alcohol testing workflows across the employee
lifecycle. Testing reason, panel type, and DOT/non-DOT status should match your company policy and
regulatory requirements.
Pre-employment testingScreen candidates before start date
or assignment.
Random testingSupport ongoing safety-sensitive workforce
programs.
Post-accident testingDocument testing after eligible
workplace or vehicle incidents.
Reasonable suspicionSupport supervisor-directed testing
when impairment concerns arise.
Consortium Membership for Discounted Testing Rates
Companies outside transportation can still join goMDnow as a consortium member to receive discounted
member pricing on commonly ordered drug and alcohol tests. Membership is especially helpful for
employers that order pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, or periodic testing
throughout the year.
Important: Joining as a member for discounted testing rates is different from being
placed in a DOT random testing pool. DOT random pool enrollment is used when applicable for
DOT-regulated employers and CDL drivers. Non-DOT employers can use membership for lower testing rates
without needing DOT random pool enrollment unless a regulated program applies.

Who Needs Aviation Testing?
Aviation drug and alcohol testing may apply to employees performing safety-sensitive functions under
FAA/DOT rules as well as non-DOT aviation workers covered by employer policy Aviation drug and alcohol
testing is governed by 14 CFR Part 120, which prescribes testing requirements for
safety-sensitive aviation employees. This can include pilots, flight crew members, aircraft maintenance
personnel, ground operations, dispatch-related roles, and certain contractors depending on job function.
- Flight crews and pilots
- Aircraft mechanics and maintenance staff
- Ground crew and ramp workers
- Aviation contractors
- Safety-sensitive operational roles
- Non-DOT aviation support staff
FAA and DOT Testing Considerations
Aviation employers should determine whether a worker is covered by FAA/DOT drug and alcohol testing rules
or by company non-DOT policy. DOT testing must follow regulated procedures, approved forms, qualified
collection processes, MRO review, and specific test reason requirements.
Testing Reasons Supported
goMDnow can help employers order aviation-related testing for pre-employment, random, post-accident,
reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, follow-up, and periodic needs depending on the applicable
regulation or employer policy.
- Pre-employment testing

- Reasonable suspicion testing
- Return-to-duty and follow-up testing

Nationwide Collection Access
Aviation companies often have employees in multiple cities, airports, bases, or temporary assignments.
goMDnow’s nationwide collection network helps employers support testing across many locations without
managing separate clinic relationships.
Employer Responsibility
Aviation employers should maintain a written testing policy, determine the correct DOT or non-DOT testing
category, notify employees properly, and retain documentation according to applicable requirements.
goMDnow helps simplify the ordering and testing process.
