Can providers collect urine samples?

Yes. Urine collection can be coordinated during a visit — the patient self-collects with provider instruction and verification.

Providers bring collection cups, preservative tubes (if required), and chain-of-custody kits for drug screening. For random urine samples, the patient self-collects during the visit. For 24-hour urine collections, the provider delivers the container and arranges pickup once the collection is complete.
