How much does it cost?
Rates start as low as $195 per test, and may be even lower for larger groups or events. Depending on the time and location, there might also be a house-call fee for our nurse to come to your location--usually an additional $150-200. We do not accept insurance, and ask for fees to be paid in advance to secure your testing appointment.
What kind of test is this?
This is a rapid antigen test--specifically, we are currently using the BD Veritor Platform. It is FDA approved and is for use in people who do not have COVID symptoms or known exposure to COVID. Please note: this is NOT a PCR or NAAT test. Typically, our test is not the right one for airlines and foreign travel. If you aren't sure which test you need, please send us a link to the website with information about your requirements, and we're happy to help you figure it out.
Do you accept insurance?
Sorry, we do not accept insurance at this time. Some FSA programs will allow you to submit for reimbursement of the costs for rapid testing; please check with your program administrator to find out more.
How long does it take?
Results are available within 15 minutes of testing, and are delivered on-site.
How accurate is this test?
This test is roughly 86% sensitive, which means that about 1 out of 7 people with COVID will not be detected by this test. On the other hand, the test is 99% specific, which means that a positive test is almost always correct.
How do you take a sample from me?
This test requires only a gentle 'nasal swab', which goes just inside the tip of your nose on both sides. This is NOT the 'brain tickle' that so many people have had to endure recently.
