Patients without a doctor’s order can purchase either the PCR test for $100 or the antigen test for $60.

COVID-19 PCR testing is considered the “gold standard” for accuracy and is recommended for individuals who have COVID symptoms or who believe they have been exposed. COVID-19 PCR testing is highly recommended for those who need travel documentation. Results will be available within the 72-hour required travel window.

COVID-19 antigen testing is typically recommended for an individual who is within five days of having COVID-19 symptoms and the test provides rapid results within a couple hours.
