Can a doctor test for drugs in urine without permission?

If you go to the doctor for a kidney or bladder issue they have no reason to test you for drugs and rarely do. If they do without first telling the patient what they are testing for it is worthless classified information. If an employer sends you for a drug screen that is a different story. The 5 panel drug screen is not cheap and the doctor will usually not do one unless instructed by the patient or the parent of a patient.
