I cannot answer your question, but can tell you how bad it is in my state, Florida. I was injured bad on a job 8 years ago and have been on narcotics ever since then. I go to a pain mgt. clinic and am on morphine. So now since all the perscription drug abuse in this state they pass a new law. Now my meds cost doubled I now have to see my Dr. every month as to every three months, which all cost me more money per month( I am on S.S.D.) then friday I am told I need to do a urine sample drug test, so I go to the lab downstairs (Sacred Heart) and am told it cost me 248.00 for the test cause Medicare won,t cover it! So the nurse at my Dr.s office tells me when I come back up " You have to get it or we will stop your meds, its a new law!" So a 8 year  morphine addict could be forced to suffer opiate withdrawels, which could kill me? because I can,t afford the test. And I believe I have to test every month. So I guess for me Sept. will really be pain awareness month. How can I get a drug test that Fla. will recognize cheaper? Prayers would be apprecated. I am 65 years old.
