COVID-19 testing is important to identify those who might have the virus and thus prevent continued spread, as well as to offer appropriate monitoring and treatments. The CDC recommends that anyone with any signs or symptoms of COVID-19 get tested, regardless of vaccination status or prior infection. For the continued safety of our patients, staff and store customers, purchasing an at-home test kit is highly recommended. This is especially recommended for patients currently exhibiting any COVID-19 symptoms.

Over the Counter (OTC) COVID-19 Test Virtual Observation

Schedule a COVID Virtual Visit

    After you purchase the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test, QuickVue At-Home OTC COVID-19 Test, or an alternative OTC COVID-19 home test that has an emergency use authorization (EUA), schedule a ‘COVID Virtual Visit (must have home test)’ appointment. One of our healthcare providers will guide you through the process of completing the test.

    This service costs $45 and is not submitted to insurance.

    This observation service is available by Virtual Visit only.
