Back to back UDTs?

Had a udt on last month's visit to my PM and had another one today, should I be worried that there's something up? Is this common? It seems very odd to me.

Quite a bit of variability out there it seems. I did the UDT once at the start of the contract and then nothing after that. I do feel fortunate and my doc is nice person as well. Wish that this wasn't such a rarity.

Im assimimg UDT stands for urine drug testm. My pain management Dr has me test every month.  If i go in more than once that month for an appointment i do a test only once but MUST do one every month.  I thought that was required.

A little odd perhaps, but I don't know if this is a problem. What did the staff say?

At my former pain doc, I'd fill the cup every 3-4 months, at random. One may follow within a week or two of the other, but I had no more than 4 UDTs a year, even if they were a little off.
