**Prior to using our services for treatment of COVID-19 symptoms or exposure, please note:**

1. You will see a provider and your insurance will be charged for the provider visit.

2.** Most** insurance companies are covering 100% of the cost for COVID-19 treatment and testing.   However, some insurance companies, including BCBS, have not covered the *rapid* COVID- 19 test at 100%. **You are responsible for understanding how your treatment will be covered by your health plan.**

- Patients exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms will receive the rapid test that provides results within 24 hours.
- Patients who have been exposed to COVID-19 but do not have symptoms will receive the standard non-rapid test that provides results with 2-3 days.
- Antibody testing is available for patients who believe they may have contracted COVID-19 in the past.

3. The cash charge and insurance charge for each test will be different. The cash price for rapid COVID testing is $210. The cash price for non-rapid COVID testing is $100. The cash price for antibody testing is $100. The insurance price will vary depending on what health plan you use. **You are responsible for your health plan’s co-pays and/or deductibles for the provider visit and testing.**
