COVID-19 testing at Health Express Raynham is available 7 days a week. The two types of tests that we offer are:
- Abbott ID NOW – $160
- This is a Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) that uses a proprietary process to amplify genetic material contained in the COVID-19 virus. It is a high sensitivity test that will detect the high viral loads during the contagious/symptomatic phase of a COVID-19 infection. This test produces results in 15 minutes.
- Quest Diagnostics PCR – $180
- Once specimen is collected, it is sent to a Quest Diagnostics lab to be resulted. Depending on volume, results can take approximately 72 hours. Results for this test can be found by accessing the Quest Diagnostics portal at https://myquest.questdiagnostics.com/web/home
For both tests, medical insurance will cover if you are acutely ill and are exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, cough, fatigue, loss of taste/smell, difficulty breathing, or nausea. Insurance will also cover it if you have been directly exposed to a positive COVID-19 case. Exposure cases must be tested 4-5 days from initial exposure.
* Please note that swabbing takes place via COVID-19 testing window, therefore, the youngest age we can safely accommodate is 7 years old. *
