Once the screening process is complete, 13 CSR 40-2.410 requires certain participants, depending on their answer to the screening question, and who do not volunteer for substance abuse treatment, to comply with a drug test.
The Action Notice (FA-150) notifies participants of the requirement to comply with testing and/or treatment. FAMIS refers the participant to the drug testing vendor when a test is required. The drug testing vendor sends a notice to the participant letting them know the date, time and facility/location for completion of the drug test.
The referral is captured on the Select TA Drug Testing Referral (SELDTREF/FMN2) screen with the date and timestamp when it was sent. It is necessary to prompt out using F6=DETAILS to see the following information regarding the drug test referral:
- Referral Date (the date the participant was referred for drug test)
- Confirmation Date (the date the drug testing vendor received the referral)
- Letter Sent Date (the date the drug testing vendor sent the letter to the participant with the drug test scheduling information)
- Scheduled Test Date (the date of the scheduled drug test)
- Actual Test Date (the date the drug test was actually completed)
- Date of Collection (the date the urine sample was collected)
- Date Result Received (the date the result was received from the drug testing vendor)
- Test Result (“pass” or “fail”)
- Specimen Id (the drug testing vendor’s ID associated with this participant’s urine sample)
- Collection Site Name (the name of the facility where the urine sample was obtained)
- Collection Site Address (the address of the facility where the urine sample was obtained)
