[MCOH-EH] Test for Nicotine

We test for cotinine during onboarding as part of our wellness incentive program.  Employee health does the cotinine test and reports (with employee consent) to the wellness team.  A positive cotinine result means the employee has to pay a higher premium for the health plan.

Would like to know how many health systems test for nicotine (cotinine) as part on the on-boarding urine drug screening for new hires. Please email me directly and I will summarize the results.



Thank you.
