Drug Testing in Nashville, TN

You can get a drug test at any participating Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp collection clinic in Nashville, including locations near Downtown, Green Hills, Donelson, Hermitage, Antioch, Madison and Bellevue. Order your test online first, then bring the emailed lab pass to the site. No appointment is needed at most locations.

DOT physicals are performed by a certified medical examiner, and we can arrange one at a Nashville area location. Order the DOT physical online and you will receive details for your visit. Bring photo identification, a list of any medications, and your glasses or hearing aids if you use them. If you have a condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure, bring documentation from your treating physician, since it can prevent a second visit.

A DOT physical is a medical examination that determines whether you are medically fit to drive commercially, and it results in a medical examiner's certificate. A DOT drug test is a federally mandated 5 panel urine test under 49 CFR Part 40. They are separate requirements, though many drivers need both and can often complete them in a single visit.

Paternity testing is available two ways. A home kit is mailed to you, you collect cheek swabs yourself, and you post the samples back, which suits personal peace of mind. For anything involving a court, child support, or a birth certificate, you need legal testing, collected at a Nashville area site where a technician verifies identity and documents chain of custody.

No. A home kit gives an accurate result, but because nobody verifies who provided the samples it is not admissible as evidence. Any court matter requires a legal DNA test with chain of custody, where identity is confirmed with photo identification at collection and every sample is documented through analysis.

Hair follicle testing is available at collection clinics across Nashville. Order a hair panel online, and the site takes a small hair sample, usually from the head. Hair panels range from 5 to 17 substances and typically cover a detection window of up to about 90 days. Results generally return in 2 to 5 business days.

Usually not. Your lab pass arrives by email as soon as you order, and you can walk into a participating Nashville site during its opening hours. The exceptions are DOT physicals and legal DNA collection, both of which are scheduled, and that is flagged when you order.

Yes. Our office is at 3656 Trousdale Drive, Suite 109, Nashville, TN 37204. Collection itself happens at partner Quest Diagnostics and Labcorp sites throughout the city rather than at our office, but the team handling your order, your questions, and your account is based here.

Price is driven by the specimen and the panel size rather than by location, so a 10 panel urine test costs the same in Nashville as anywhere else. Urine is the least expensive route, hair and nail cost more because of the extra laboratory work a long detection window requires, and DNA is priced on its own scale. What you pay online includes collection, analysis and Medical Review Officer review, and the collection clinic will not charge you anything further. Employer accounts are eligible for volume pricing.

The visit itself takes about ten to fifteen minutes. A negative urine result usually reaches your account within 24 to 48 hours. If a sample screens non-negative it goes to confirmation testing and Medical Review Officer review, which adds roughly 24 to 72 hours. Hair and nail panels take longer to process and generally return within 2 to 5 business days.
