Pain Management Patient Urine Drug Monitoring

Phamatech provides urine drug testing (UDT) to assist pain management physicians with patient treatment. Patients with chronic pain may require opioids and other powerful and addictive medications. Current clinical guidelines (Ref 10) recommend the use of urine drug testing to help guide decisions about medications and treatment regimens, and when to refer for substance abuse. Testing can help identify and deter patient diversion of prescriptions and use of illicit drugs.

Phamatech provides cost effective screening and quantitative confirmation by GC/MS and LC/MS/MS for pain medications (Ref 1). Our Laboratory is College of American Pathologists (CAP) FUDT accredited and SAMHSA certified, licensed as a clinical laboratory by the states of California, Pennsylvania and Maryland and nationally under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA). We manufacture CLIA waived instant drug testing devices, suitable for rapid screening in the pain clinic and supported by laboratory based confirmation. Physicians, clinics, hospitals, schools, business and industry, government agencies, police, probation and parole trust Phamatech to provide the highest quality testing available. Whether you need CLIA waived on-site testing devices or lab based screening and confirmations, we can uniquely provide what you need.

Phamatech Laboratories provides next day results on all laboratory services. Our Laboratory Information System (LIMS) allows clients an interactive Internet functionality and secure encrypted results via email, Adobe .pdf, Excel .xls, CSV, or fax.
