• COVID-19 antibody testing is available to anyone who have had symptoms of COVID-19. If you think that you might have had COVID-19 symptoms and would like to be tested for the antibody, one of our providers will be happy to see you to help determine if a test is needed.
• You may be tested more than once if the provider determines that it is necessary to do so. Upon evaluation, the decision will be dependent on the symptoms you have had and the duration. Some essential-services workers may need to be tested more than once.
• The cost of COVID-19 testing is fully covered for individuals who have insurance as part of the CARES Act. The cost of the COVID-19 antibody testing for individuals who do NOT have insurance is $90 in addition to the charge for the base visit.
• We send the samples to the lab via overnight mail. The results of the COVID-19 antibody test may take up to two to four days before they are available. One of the staff members will give you a call once your result becomes available.
• Know that COVID-19 antibody testing uses a blood sample to determine the presence of antibodies in response to a recent or past COVID-19 infection. It is important to know that a positive or negative result from antibody testing alone is insufficient to confirm the presence or absence of infection, current infection, and or if a long-term immunity has been achieved.  Notwithstanding, a positive result shows that the patient has been exposed to coronavirus and might have built up some protection.  A lot is still unknown about the Covid-19 virus; therefore, patients should continue to adhere to social distancing, frequent hand washing, CDC, and local health department guidelines to help control the spread of the virus.
