| The DOT MIS Report is limited to 5 specific drugs and drug classes. Click HERE to review the DOT pdf document that outlines the details to fill out the MIS Report. https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/sites/fmcsa.dot.gov/files/docs/MIS_Data_Collection_Form_Instructions508CLN.pdf |
- Amphetamines
- Opiates
- Marijuana
- Cocaine
- PCP

| DrugTestNetwork allows users to define drug test panels with any number of substances required for specific drug testing programs. Each substance is entered in two parts: a name/abbreviation and the full substance name/description. As such it is difficult to determine exactly which substances in a panel are related to Amphetamines or Opiates or might be Marijuana or Cocaine metabolites. The DOT has added new substances to the list for reporting, however, the basic “5 Panel” has not changed over the last 10 years and continues to include the 5 drugs and drug classes outlined above. Some panels might include items that are not reported such as Nicotine, for example. In order to accurately generate the DOT MIS Report, every substance that’s indicated with a Positive result needs to be correlated to one of the DOT MIS reporting classes: Amphetamines, Opiates, Marijuana, Cocaine or PCP. |
| For example, if a panel includes a positive for Carboxy-THC (a marijuana metabolite), the user will be asked to correlate the substance to its appropriate report classification: Marijuana. Similarly, Ocycodone must be correlated to Opiates, etc. |
| As users have added new substances to their Federal DOT 5 Panel, this approach to classification has become necessary because, for example, abbreviations for the “Oxy” and “Hydro” drugs have varied from one user to another and EDI data (Electronic Data Interchange) from Labs and MROs also vary greatly. The new approach requires very little input from the user; a substance (Name, Description) only needs to be correlated once. |
| Before the MIS report is generated, the application automatically checks all test results for the period requested and every positive substance is added to the DOT MIS Substance correlation table and users must then specify to which reporting group the substance belongs. |
