01. Test At the Right Time

If you currently have symptoms of COVID-19 for more than 3 days, we advise to get either a rapid COVID-19 PCR or Antigen test with same-day results, or a PCR COVID-19 test that is sent to a third-party lab. If you want to use your health insurance to cover testing, you will need to ask for a COVID test that is sent to the lab. The lab-sent results are typically back within 2-7 days, depending on outside lab volume. We will call and email your results when they come back from the lab.
If you were exposed to a COVID-19 infected person and your exposure was less than 3 days ago:
- Go home and quarantine until the virus can be accurately detected on a COVID-19 test, usually between 3-5 days after exposure. Testing too soon may lead to false negative test results regardless of the testing method, and may cause you to infect others.
- If symptoms develop, it’s recommended to get a COVID-19 test. Either a rapid PCR or rapid Antigen test, or a lab send-out PCR test.
- If you do not develop symptoms 3-5 days after an exposure, but you still want to make sure you are not infected, it is recommended to get a COVID test. Either a rapid PCR or rapid Antigen test, or a lab send-out PCR test.

03. Get ready

1. Lab-sent PCR: RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) tests the virus’s genetic material, which is considered the gold standard in detecting SARS-Cov-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. This sample is sent to an outside lab for testing. The lab-sent test is typically covered by most insurance with results reported within 2-7 days depending on lab volume.
2. Rapid PCR: This is the same RT-PCR test that is sent to the lab, but is done at POC (Point of Care) at a Marque Urgent Care clinic. Results are reported back same-day and only available at a Marque Urgent Care clinic at a cash-pay price of $215/per test.
3. Rapid Antigen: Antigen tests detect specific proteins on the surface of the virus unlike PCR where it detects the virus’s genetic material. Though antigen tests are less accurate than PCR, it is a good option if you are symptomatic. Results are reported back same-day and only available at a Marque Urgent Care clinic at a cash-pay price of $120/per test.
