For employers New Mexico does not have a drug testing statute; however, in workers’ compensation denial cases, employers must demonstrate compliance with the dot drug and alcohol testing regulations. There are benefits of drug testing for employers regarding the denial of a workers’ compensation claim. Full denial of a claim occurs if intoxication is the cause of the accident. There is a 10% reduction if intoxication is the only contributing factor. Employee testing must follow DOT regulations in order to use the drug test results as proof of intoxication. The procedures to follow for drug testing in New Mexico must follow SAMHSA guidelines mirroring dot drug testing. A five-panel drug test is required with testing at a certified laboratory and results reviewed by a medical review officer (MRO).
