CompuNet: New Testing Options and Updated Service Hours

Premier Pulse     September 2024

CompuNet Expands Direct Access Testing Menu With New Options

CompuNet has expanded its Direct Access Testing menu with two new offerings: A Student Panel (Urine Drug Screen) and Kratom testing. These additions provide more opportunities for parents and schools to take an active role in the health and well-being of their child or student.  A parent or guardian must order this testing for their child younger than 18 years of age. 

The Student Panel (Urine Drug Screen) is designed to support parents, schools, and organizations in maintaining a drug-free environment. With the growing concerns about substance use among students, this panel offers a convenient and confidential way to monitor drug use.

Kratom (Mitragynine) testing is also now available, responding to the increasing use and awareness of this herbal supplement. While kratom is legal in many states, including Ohio, its effects can vary, and testing can help parents and health care providers better understand its affect on their child's or students' health.

CompuNet's Direct Access Testing services allow requests for these and other tests without a doctor's order. This confidential and affordable option will enable proactive health monitoring. For more information and to view the full list of available tests, please visit CompuNet's Direct Access Testing page.
