Detection Windows for a 9 Panel Urine Drug Test

A 9 panel urine drug test detects drug use up to about one week back. The test looks for drugs and the metabolites that the body breaks them down into. A result is positive only when the amount found is at or above the lab's set cutoff level. Lower amounts are reported as negative.

Need to look further back? A 9 panel hair follicle drug test can detect drug use from 5 to 90 days back.

What Affects How Long Drugs Show Up on a 9 Panel?

How long a drug shows up on a 9 panel depends on several factors. Detection times can be shorter or longer depending on:

• chevron_right
  How much of the drug was used
• chevron_right
  How often it was used
• chevron_right
  The specific substance
• chevron_right
  The person's metabolism

Some drugs naturally have longer detection windows than other drugs. For example, marijuana has a longer detection window, while substances like cocaine may become undetectable within a few days.

Do I Need an Appointment for a 9 Panel Drug Test?

No. All testing is walk-in. Register and prepay online or by phone. The authorization barcode is then sent by text and email, and you or your employee can walk in any time the clinic is open. Many clinics can test the same day you register.

Hours vary by clinic. You'll find each clinic's hours in the location finder when you register.

Where to Get a 9 Panel Drug Test

Health Street offers 9 panel drug testing at clinics across all 50 states. Enter a ZIP code in the location finder map above to find the closest clinics to you.

Not every clinic offers every version of the test. Rapid (instant) tests and add-ons like alcohol testing are available at fewer locations. If you don't see a clinic nearby, try the lab-based 9 panel. Still have a question about a clinic? Call us. We are happy to help you.

What to Bring to the Clinic

Bring two things:

• looks_one
  Your authorization barcode, shown on a phone or printed
• looks_two
  A valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport

Lost the barcode? Call us and we'll resend it.

What If the Person Being Tested Doesn't Show Up?

An unused test isn't wasted. It stays on your account as a credit, and you can apply it to another employee. Just give us a call to apply the credit to another employee.

How Long Does a 9 Panel Drug Test Take to Come Back?

Negative 9 panel results usually come back within 1-2 business days. With the Instant 9 Panel Urine, negative results are normally available the same day. Results that need more review take longer. Here's what to expect at each stage.

9 Panel Drug Test Results Timeline

What Happens After Your Sample Is Collected

1. Screening: your urine sample is screened for all nine drug classes.
2. Negative results are released: if nothing is detected, the result is posted to your secure online portal, usually within 1-2 business days. The Instant 9 Panel usually posts negative results the same day.
3. Confirmation testing: if the results are non-negative, the lab runs a confirmation test on the same sample. This step helps rule out false positives, and it takes about 3–5 days.
4. Medical Review Officer review: confirmed results are reviewed by a Medical Review Officer (MRO).

Results Reviewed by a Medical Review Officer

Every lab-based 9 panel through Health Street goes through a structured review before a result is final.

1. The specimen is screened at a certified drug testing lab for all nine drug classes.
2. Any non-negative screen is confirmed with GC/MS or LC-MS/MS testing.
3. Our Medical Review Officer (MRO) reviews the confirmed result and may contact the donor about medications or other medical explanations.

An MRO is a licensed physician who serves as an impartial party between the lab and the employer. If an employee has a valid prescription for a medication that caused the non-negative result, then the MRO can revise the result before it's reported. MRO review is usually completed within 24-72 hours after the lab shows a non-negative result.

Who Receives the 9 Panel Drug Test Results?

Results go to whoever placed and paid for the order. Employers receive an email when results are ready and can view them in Health Street's secure online portal. Individuals who order their own test receive results the same way.

Need results sent to someone else, such as a court or treatment program? Call us. With a signed release of information, we can send results to an approved third party.

How Much Does a 9 Panel Drug Test Cost?

A 9 panel urine drug test through Health Street starts at $89. The price covers everything, including the collection, lab testing and MRO review. You pay Health Street when you register, and the clinic won't charge you anything extra.

Do You Accept Insurance or a Doctor's Prescription?

No. Health Street doesn't bill insurance. If your doctor wrote a prescription for a drug test so insurance will cover it, take it to an urgent care or your doctor's office. If you're paying out of pocket, you can register with us and walk in.

Can Employers Be Invoiced After Testing?

No. All tests are prepaid by credit or debit card when you register, and you'll get a receipt by email. Employers can set up a free company account to register employees, pay, and track results in one place.

Please keep in mind that although this is the 9 Panel Drug Test, more types of substances can be detected in this panel. This is because many of these drugs belong to the same class (e.g., codeine, morphine, and heroin are all basic opiates).
