Drug Screening FAQ

We partner with Quest Diagnostics Test Centers to allow you to complete your drug screening where you currently are. You will receive an email from Quest (noreply@questdiagnostics.com) with a personalized drug screen authorization form. To schedule your appointment, use the Quest website to look up your nearest local participating collection site and schedule an appointment (see step-by-step instructions below). Be sure to bring your authorization form to the appointment.

NOTE:  You cannot complete the drug screen prior to 60 days before your contract start date. You will need to allow 2-3 weeks for results to be returned, and you cannot begin work until your results have been cleared.

• If you are CURRENTLY LIVING OVERSEAS, your drug screen must be done in person at UVA Employee Health.
• If you are CURRENTLY LIVING IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, please complete your drug screening in-person at UVA Employee Health.

• If you cannot find a Quest collection facility near you, your drug screening can also be done at UVA’s Employee Health once you arrive, or if you are visiting Charlottesville within your 60 day window.
  • To schedule with Employee Health at UVA call 434-924-2013 and schedule your appointment for as soon as you arrive in Charlottesville. Delays to your drug screening may delay your program start date.
