COVID-19 Announcements

Cornerstone offers both rapid antigen and PCR tests.  The rapid antigen test returns results in 10-15 minutes. It is important to know that when a rapid antigen test is done, a confirmatory PCR test may be needed in certain situations. The PCR test result will be available in 1-2 days. One of our staff members will call you whether your PCR test result is positive or negative.

Insured Patients:

• The cost of the visit may be covered by your insurance if the test is medically necessary for your care. Patients are responsible for their co-pays, co-insurance, and deductible when they apply. Therefore, patients are advised to call their insurance companies for more information regarding coverage.

Uninsured Patients:

• Symptomatic patients: The base charge for a sick visit is $125. If a rapid antigen test is performed, there will be an additional charge of $25. The payment for the base charge of $125 and $25for the rapid test is due at the time of service. If a PCR test is performed, the lab fee is billed and sent directly to you by the third-party lab that analyzes the sample.
• Asymptomatic Patient with no exposure: The charge for the visit is $85 for a brief assessment by our provider and rapid test. If a PCR test is performed, the lab fee is billed and sent directly to you by the third-party lab that analyzes the sample.

Note that a COVID test is not covered by insurance when it is not medically necessary. When the patient does not have COVID-19 symptoms or a known contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 infection and the sole purpose of the test is for travel, employment, social event, etc., the visit is not covered by insurance, hence it is a self-pay visit. The charge for the visit is $85 for a brief assessment by our provider and rapid test. If a PCR test is performed, the lab fee is billed and sent directly to you by the third-party lab that analyzes the sample.
