FAQ

What is a PCR test?

PCR tests detect the virus’ genetic material and are considered the gold standard for COVID-19 testing. They are 99.5% accurate.

PCR tests have a high specificity and sensitivity, which means it can correctly identify the virus we’re looking for in your sample AND detect the infection from minuscule amounts of the virus. 

Do I have to schedule an appointment?

Nope! All you need to do is show up at our location between 8am-5pm, and we will have someone assist you. Make sure to bring an insurance card if you have insurance.

Do you offer weekly testing services?

Yes, we offer routine testing. We keep it simple by having people who need testing fill out one form. Once that’s done, everyone is in our system & all you need to do after is let us know what days you’d like to test.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. Due to the Public Health Emergency and under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, insurance companies are required to cover COVID-19 testing if you are experiencing symptoms or exposed to COVID-19. It is not accepted for travel.

How much does a test cost?

A test for walk-ins is free with insurance (not accepted for travel) or $150. Please make sure to bring your insurance card as we will need a copy for billing purposes.

How do I view my results?

You'll receive an email once your results are done. Here's the results portal and a video on how to view your online results.

How will testing results be shared?

Can children be tested for COVID-19 as well?
