Drug testing workflows for hiring and compliance needs
Drug testing may be required before employment, after certain workplace incidents, as part of random testing programs, or during return-to-duty workflows. DOT and non-DOT testing have different documentation and process requirements.
Castellan Health supports employers and applicants in Tampa, East Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Temple Terrace, and Seffner with a direct scheduling process and clear instructions before the visit.
Random drug testing programs are a separate employer workflow. DOT-regulated employers must keep covered drivers in a random testing pool and test at the current FMCSA-mandated minimum rate; non-DOT employers may create voluntary random testing programs based on policy, safety needs, and legal review.
Pricing
Drug and alcohol screening starts at $35. Final pricing depends on whether the workflow is DOT or non-DOT, the panel required, collection requirements, alcohol testing needs, and employer documentation instructions.
- DOT drug test add-on: $55
- Breath alcohol test: $35
- Pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable-suspicion, and return-to-duty workflows can be scoped with the employer
- Chain-of-custody paperwork or employer authorization should be provided when required
How the visit works
A clear workflow helps patients, applicants, and employers know what to expect before scheduling.
Identify DOT or non-DOT requirements
The first step is confirming whether the test is DOT-regulated, non-DOT, pre-employment, random, post-accident, return-to-duty, or another employer-defined workflow.
Bring authorization and ID
Applicants and employees should bring photo ID plus any employer authorization, chain-of-custody form, or testing instructions.
Follow the correct documentation path
Testing workflows depend on the panel, employer requirements, and applicable DOT or non-DOT process. Requirements should be clarified before the appointment.
For employers
Coordinate testing workflows for hiring, random programs, workplace incidents, or return-to-duty needs with clear scheduling expectations.
For applicants and employees

Drug testing workflows for Tampa employers and applicants
Drug testing pages need to be specific because DOT and non-DOT workflows are not interchangeable. This page gives Tampa employers and applicants a clear starting point for pre-employment, random, post-accident, and return-to-duty testing questions.
Castellan Health serves Tampa, East Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Temple Terrace, and Seffner. Employers should provide testing instructions up front so the correct process is used.
For regulated employers, random testing pool management should follow current DOT/FMCSA rules, chain-of-custody requirements, and consortium or employer pool procedures. For non-DOT employers, random testing should be grounded in a written policy reviewed by counsel.

Common questions
Do you offer DOT and non-DOT drug testing in Tampa?
Castellan Health can help coordinate DOT and non-DOT testing workflows. Requirements should be confirmed before scheduling so the correct process is followed.
Can employers schedule random or post-accident testing?
Employers can contact Castellan Health to discuss random, post-accident, and return-to-duty testing workflows and timing needs. DOT-regulated programs should follow the current FMCSA-mandated minimum rate rather than relying on a hardcoded percentage in website copy.
Do you help with random testing pools or consortium workflows?
Employer account and consortium workflows can be discussed for regulated employers that need recurring random testing. Requirements should be confirmed against current DOT/FMCSA guidance before rollout.
What should I bring to a drug testing appointment?
Bring photo ID and any employer authorization, chain-of-custody form, or testing instructions you were given.
Is DOT testing different from non-DOT testing?
Yes. DOT testing follows specific federal process requirements, while non-DOT testing depends on employer policy and applicable law.
Can applicants schedule their own drug test?
Applicants can request an appointment, but employer authorization or instructions are important when the test is for hiring or workplace compliance.
