COVID-19 Testing

AFC Urgent Care is proud to offer our patients Baseline COVID-19 Testing.

We offer Rapid COVID-19 Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT), and an RT-PCR COVID-19 Test. We also offer SARS-COV-2 Antibody Testing. Antibody testing is conducted through a blood draw. You will receive Rapid COVID-19 Test results during your visit! The RT-PCR COVID-19 Test results will be available through your Patient Portal within 2-3 Days, can fluctuate based on community demands. Antibody Test results will be available in 2-3 Days, and will also be posted to your Patient Portal.

*INSURANCE COVERAGE: Based on the CARES ACT, most major insurances have agreed to waive the cost sharing requirement for COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment for all patients. How long this will be in effect varies for COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment for all patients. How long this will be in effect varies by insurance. If you have a “SELF FUNDED PLAN" or "HEALTH SAVINGS PLAN" (usually listed on the card), your insurance carrier does not have to comply with this, you may be responsible for an urgent care visit fee.

We are currently not collecting copays FOR COVID-19 VISITS. If they are not covered, please note you will be responsible for your typical Urgent Care Copay and/or Deductible for this visit. If you do get a bill that you believe should have been covered, please reach out to your insurance company directly to have them reprocess it. This is a COVID related visit, however, we have no control over how the insurance company ultimately processes the claim.

How Antibody Testing for COVID-19 is Conducted

Sample will be collected through a blood draw. Antibody tests check your blood by looking for antibodies, which can show if you had a past infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. Antibodies are proteins that help fight off infections and usually provide protection against getting that disease again (immunity). Antibodies are disease specific. Once blood sample is collected, our team will send sample to the lab. Results will be available in 2-3 Days, can fluctuate based on community demands.

What to bring with you to your COVID-19 testing:

• Bring Photo ID / Drivers License
• Know Social Security Number or Bring Social Security Card
• Bring Insurance Card
• COVID-19 Vaccination Card
