How does the test work?
The test requires a simple finger poke, and works by detecting the presence of the COVID-19 antibodies for past or present infection. *Current infection may appear in blood within 3-5 days (IgM). Antibodies for past infection occur after 1-2 weeks, and may linger for several months after infection.
Who is the test for?
This test is for anyone who thinks they may have had COVID-19 and have since recovered; for anyone who has had contact with someone who tested positive for the virus; for healthcare workers, or for anyone who regularly comes into contact with large numbers of people each day.
What are the symptoms of COVID-19?
Symptoms can include fever, shortness of breathe/difficulty breathing, cough, pink eye, and loss of smell. Symptoms vary.
Will my insurance cover the testing?
No. This test is not covered by ANY insurance.
How much does the test cost?
The test is $40 for Members, $80 for Non-Members. And includes a discussion with the provider for immune boosting strategies.
How long does the test take?

COVID-19 Nasal Swab Testing
We have a limited number of these tests. We will not be ordering these tests UNTIL the following criteria has been met: including high fever, shortness of breath, first ruling out other respiratory illnesses with testing AND direct contact with someone who tested positive AND multiple chronic health conditions.
If you are under the 45 years old without chronic medical issues, and are experiencing respiratory symptoms that are manageable, please self-quarantine for a minimum of 14 days. It is not possible to test everyone that has respiratory symptoms, so it is imperative that we treat all symptomatic people as possible carriers.
