The US Government has announced that the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) declaration, which has been in effect since January 2020, will end on May 11, 2023.
This change means that people with private insurance may have to pay for Covid tests, both over the counter rapid tests and laboratory testing, depending on their plan. Seniors with Medicare Part B will also have to start paying for over-the-counter tests.

Luckily we offer a PCR and Rapid Antigen test that has you covered on both fronts.

As an example: You have been exposed to someone with COVID or live/work in a congregate setting.
Your test results will confirm whether or not you are infected with SARS-CoV-2. If your results are positive, it is important to limit your exposure to other people and continue to monitor your symptoms. If your results are negative, the virus was not present in the sample you provided. However, it is important to note that the virus may not be detected by the test in early stages of infection. Furthermore, the virus may not be detected if the sample is not collected as directed. If you have reason to believe you have been exposed, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation, get re-tested, and follow isolation or quarantine precautions as recommended
After receiving your results, you will have the opportunity to speak with a licensed physician who can answer any questions you may have about your test results and help determine next steps in care.
