Schedule your COVID Test online by registering at your local STAT MED clinic.
Drive-Thru COVID-19 Diagnostic Tests
A COVID-19 diagnostic test analyzes if you have a current COVID-19 infection, whether you are showing symptoms or not. COVID-19 Diagnostic Tests require a nasal swab, which is handled on a drive-through basis in the clinic parking lot of your preferred STAT MED clinic.
STAT MED offers both rapid tests with same-day results as well as standard PCR tests with a 3-5 day turnaround.
COVID-19 virus diagnostic tests are available at all STAT MED clinic locations. Pre-registration is required.
COVID-19 Antibody Tests
A COVID-19 antibody test analyzes if you have previously had a COVID-19 infection, but doesn't show if you are currently infected. Depending on the test, COVID-19 Antibody Tests requires either a finger stick or a blood draw, which is handled inside the clinic.
The antibody test we use tests for both IgG and IgM. The results certificate we provide reports IgG and IgM separately.
STAT MED offers Rapid COVID-19 Antibody testing, with results provided before you leave the clinic.
No appointment is required for the Antibody Tests.
FAQ: Insurance Coverage for COVID Testing
Insurance coverage for COVID testing is evolving. The Public Health Emergency (PHE) period has been extended through April 20, 2021. As a result, insurance companies are still required to pay for most COVID tests but may not fully cover the visit or administration fees. Please contact your insurance carrier for details or questions regarding your plan coverage.
* The cash price for either the rapid or standard PCR COVID-19 virus test or the COVID antibody test is $125.
