Pricing
On-site drug testing pricing for Chicagoland employers
Onsite drug testing is not priced like a single retail test. A realistic quote depends on where the collection happens, how many donors are involved, program type, and whether the request is scheduled or urgent.
Pricing depends on the program, not one line item
Employers usually ask for pricing before they ask for process. That makes sense, but onsite drug testing is not priced like a single retail test. A realistic quote depends on where the collection happens, how many donors are involved, whether the event is DOT or non-DOT, and whether the request is scheduled or urgent.
That is why we scope the work first instead of publishing a generic rate card. A one-person post-accident response, a 40-person hiring day, and recurring random support across three sites are different operations—even when the panel name on the order looks the same.
What usually affects pricing
Number of donors
A single post-accident event is scoped differently from a 40-person hiring day. Batch collections usually improve efficiency per donor, while urgent one-off events carry different dispatch and staffing assumptions.
Site location and travel
Travel distance, access complexity, and dispatch timing all affect pricing. Mobile drug testing to a plant gate, a construction yard, or a multi-building campus is not the same logistics problem as a single conference-room collection downtown.
DOT vs non-DOT requirements
Regulated programs may require different forms, procedures, and staffing assumptions. DOT collections follow federal custody and paperwork standards; non-DOT programs follow your policy and administrator setup. Mixing the two on one visit adds coordination work that belongs in the quote.
Drug only vs drug and alcohol
If alcohol testing is included, the event may require different equipment and timing. Breath alcohol testing often runs on a separate workflow from urine or oral-fluid drug collections, and post-accident programs sometimes need both modalities under tight windows.
Common quote scenarios
Employers usually request pricing for:
- single-site hiring events
- recurring random testing support
- post-accident and reasonable suspicion response
- multi-site regional coverage
- DOT collection support through a TPA or consortium
- occupational health blood-draw events
Post-accident and reasonable-suspicion response often pairs with our post-accident drug testing service. DOT collection support through a third-party administrator or consortium is covered on our TPA and consortia page.
What to send for an accurate quote
To avoid back-and-forth, ask employers to submit:
- service addresses
- approximate headcount
- program type
- expected test reasons
- urgency level
- whether events are one-time or recurring
- whether a TPA or consortium is already involved
The more complete the intake, the faster we can confirm coverage, staffing, and whether the event is a fit for on-site execution.
What employers should expect from us
We do not publish one-size-fits-all rates because that usually creates the wrong expectation. Instead, we confirm scope first, then provide pricing that reflects the actual event the employer needs to run.
That approach is better for both sides. The employer gets a quote built around reality, and the operation does not get under-scoped. You should receive enough detail to compare options—not a teaser price that falls apart once travel, headcount, or program type is clarified.
Best use of this page
This page should qualify leads and reduce friction, not pretend every collection event costs the same amount. The main conversion goal is a quote request with enough detail to scope the work correctly.
When you are ready, request a quote with your locations, headcount, program type, and timeline. We will respond with pricing tied to the event you actually need—not a generic per-test number that ignores how employer programs work in the field.
