TEST INFORMATION

The Rapid Viral Antibody Test can determine if you contracted COVID-19 and have developed the antibodies to fight off infection. This same test also detects exposure, which will determine if you have recently contracted the virus and if antibodies are present in the bloodstream. 

PCR Nasal Swab will test recent infection and is the current FDA standard under the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to detect COVID-19 virus infection.

INSURANCE COVERAGE

Insurance will be billed for each test, however, we require a credit card as a back-up form of payment. In the case that the insurance does not pay the bill, your credit card will be charged. Not all insurances cover elective COVID-19 tests, please call your insurance provider prior to testing if you have any questions regarding their coverage. 

WHAT DO I NEED BEFORE COMING IN?  

Form of payment (non-cash), insurance card, ID, and mask.

HOW WILL I GET MY RESULTS?

Test results will be emailed to you from COVIDtesting@mcso-llc.com. If you do not have an email, results may be delivered over the phone or sent via US Mail.

WHAT ADVICE DOES THE CDC OFFER REGARDING COVID-19 TESTING?

If you are a close contact of someone with COVID-19 or you are a resident in a community where there is ongoing spread of COVID-19 and develop symptoms of COVID-19, call your healthcare provider and tell them about your symptoms and your exposure. 

MCSO will perform the test without a doctor’s order or prescription. Be sure to wear a mask, cover your coughs and sneezes, and frequently clean your hands on your way to be tested at MCSO. If you experience severe pain, shortness of breath, or chest pain, you need to seek emergency care. Call 911 or go directly to a hospital emergency room for care.
