The Testing Types

COVID Rapid Antigen Test

We typically use the Rapid Antigen Test if you're sick with symptoms or you've been exposed to someone who then tested positive. It's best to wait at least four or more days from the time you were exposed before your test. This test is performed out front in your car. It will be processed onsite, and your results are complete in 20 minutes. The cost is $85, collected either when you book online or when you arrive out front for your appointment. You may submit to your insurance company to attempt reimbursement, as your invoice will contain all the billing codes and information you need.
