The 5-Panel Drug Screen is the most commonly used workplace drug test. It detects five major categories of controlled substances — marijuana (THC), cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, and phencyclidine (PCP) — using a urine sample. Confirmatory testing is performed on any positive results to rule out false positives. This panel meets federal workplace testing guidelines and is widely accepted by employers, courts, and healthcare providers.

5 biomarkers tested
Your 5-Panel Drug Screen (Urine) results will include values for each of the 5 biomarkers tested, along with reference ranges. Results are reviewed by a licensed physician before being released to your secure portal.
If any values fall outside the normal range, your report will include guidance on what that may mean and recommended next steps. You'll receive an email notification when your results are ready, typically within 1–3 business days.
Typical reference range layout
Lab reports show where your value sits relative to established reference intervals—your physician interprets this in context for you.
No fasting required. Avoid excessive fluid intake before collection, as overly dilute samples may require a retest.
A 5-Panel Drug Screen (Urine) test costs $149.99 at TestWell — $155.99 all-in when ordered alone, because the $6 lab processing fee is charged once per order, with no draw fee or physician fee added. Hospital outpatient labs typically bill around $450.00 self-pay for the same test, and often more. With insurance, what you pay depends on your deductible and your plan's negotiated rate; TestWell's price is fixed before the draw and is HSA/FSA-eligible.
