What a 10-panel drug test screens for
A 10-panel starts with the standard five and adds five commonly misused prescription and depressant classes, giving a much wider view of what's in a person's system:
- Marijuana (THC)
- Cocaine
- Amphetamines / methamphetamine
- Opiates (codeine, morphine, heroin)
- Phencyclidine (PCP)
- Benzodiazepines — Xanax, Valium, Klonopin and similar
- Barbiturates — phenobarbital and related sedatives
- Methadone
- Methaqualone (Quaaludes)
- Propoxyphene
Need fentanyl, tramadol, or synthetic cannabinoids added? Those sit outside the classic 10-panel — ask about an expanded or custom panel and we'll build exactly the screen you need.
Who requires a 10-panel
- Healthcare employers — hospitals, clinics, home health and nursing programs
- Government & public-sector roles — many require the expanded panel
- Safety-sensitive positions — heavy equipment, security, childcare and more
- Professional licensing & monitoring programs — where prescription misuse matters
- Courts & attorneys — when a broader picture is needed for a case
Prescriptions and the MRO review
Because a 10-panel screens prescription-class drugs, a legitimate prescription can produce a positive result. That's exactly why lab-confirmed 10-panels are reviewed by a Medical Review Officer (MRO) — a physician who confirms whether a positive is explained by a valid prescription before it's reported. Have your prescription information ready and the process is smooth and confidential.
Same-day collection, defensible results
We collect 10-panels under proper chain-of-custody and send them to SAMHSA-certified laboratories, so results are accurate and defensible if they're ever questioned. Walk-ins are welcome, and we'll quote the exact price — typically starting around $50 — before you come in.
