I don't know what I'm tested for but I have only had option 3 and 7...but they are also testing more often than usual...3xmo at least when it used to be 2.

Not sure about anyone else, but since Nov. '06, in addition to 3 & 7 I've been tested for option 4 a few times, which I understand includes EtG. I am a CRNA so I don't know if that makes a difference. About a month back, I also recall seeing a post on another forum about someone in the PA DMU who claims they had a positive EtG and was looking for information about the DMU. Never saw another post from the individual so I don't know what kind of action was taken. Regardless of what the current professional opinion on the test is, I highly doubt the BON would abandon it altogether.
