Not sure but just wanted to let you know that it is spelled percocet (with a c not an s).

IMO - a PM doc ordering a full analysis of urine or blood specimin will see the difference in spectrographic foot-print of Percocet vs. Vicodin --- they want to know if you're cheating on them. So, don't. Typical PO's quick test wouldn't distinguish, but they can always send the sample to lab for full test, if they feel suspicious or just like jerking you around.

Everything I have read about PM docs leads me to believe that the drug screens that they do are very thorough. First, to make sure that you're not using any illegal drugs or pain meds not prescribed to you by them. Also, they check to see if you are taking your meds exactly as they were prescribed. If your pain is worse than usual one day, you're supposed to call in and tell them before you take extra meds.
My opinion, which is probably worth about as much as you paid for it, is that yes they definitely can tell the difference between hydro and oxy and yes they will check. A lab analysis easily detects the difference between oxy and hydro because a percentage of both are eliminated in their original form and they are also metabolized to more active forms in the liver, oxymorphone and hydromorphone, respectively.
