Patient FAQs

Medication Monitoring is a laboratory test that helps your Health Care Provider (HCP) track your currently prescribed medications. The results allow your treatment provider to properly prescribe medication as part of your individual treatment plan. Millennium Health’s Medication Monitoring can be performed using either urine or oral fluid drug testing.

Prescription medications are a common form of treatment for chronic pain and other conditions. However, each person reacts differently to them. Medication Monitoring provides your HCP with essential information for the safe and effective use of your medications.

Your HCP will give you directions on how to provide a sample of urine or oral fluid for analysis. Please follow the instructions carefully. The collection device provided by your HCP may contain instant read strips. Please do not tamper with the strips. Your HCP will interpret the results and may send the sample to an outside laboratory for further analysis.

The lab will run a series of tests to confirm the levels of both prescribed and non-prescribed medications in your sample and report the results back to your treatment provider usually within one business day. Your HCP may use these test results to decide on the best treatment plan for you.

Millennium Health performs definitive drug testing using LC-MS/MS technologies to accurately identify and quantify the presence of specific drugs and metabolites with very high specificity and sensitivity.

Millennium Health complies with federal and state privacy laws and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations.

Your treatment provider will determine how frequently you will be tested based on your individual treatment plan.

If you have insurance, your treatment provider is not involved in the billing process for services provided by Millennium Health. We will bill your insurer directly for our services. Your insurance company will then send you an Explanation of Benefits (EOB). The EOB is not a bill. It is simply a statement that shows how your insurer processed the claim for testing. Depending on your insurance coverage, you may receive a statement for a co-payment or deductible from Millennium Health.
