Pregnancy Drug Testing Mandatory?

Question by Timothy B: pregnancy drug testing mandatory?
I havce a co work who just found out the she is pregnant. her doctor gave her a drug test and she tested + for THC. (she has of course stopped now that she knows she is pregnant) Her doctor also stated that she would have another test in a few months and if it was + she would be reported to child welfare. She is on medicare or medicaid. can she refuse. Is this now the law. We are in Texas if that makes the laws any different.

She can refuse by getting a new Doctor but otherwise he is free to do what he wants in the way of testing her for drug use and in turn reporting her!
