Procedure

When you arrive, if there is a line outside, this is the line for testing, hop on in!  If there is no line, please come inside, an employee will greet you and direct you where to go.

Depending on how many people are waiting we will either:

​

1. Hand you a form to fill out in store OR

2. Take your name and number, hand you a form to fill out in your car or elsewhere outside the store.  We will then text you when it is time to come inside.

​

Once we take your completed form, we will direct you to wait in a designated area until you are called into the testing room.

​

Once in the testing room, our pharmacist or intern will guide you through the testing process.  You will then be instructed on where to wait for your results.  Your results will be ready 15-20 minutes after completing the test - depending on which test you're doing.
 

You will receive a printed statement with your results. 

Types of Testing Available

Rapid Antigen Test

We offer the Abbott Binax Now Rapid Antigen Test which provides results in 15 minutes.

This test is used to test for active infection. It can be used for some travel and event requirements - always check with the airline or venue as some may require a PCR test. 

We test for any reason - no symptoms required. 

This test is always FREE regardless of insurance!  We do ask that you bring your insurance card because we will attempt to bill them if they pay for it.  If you are uninsured please bring a photo ID or your SSN - this allows us to bill your test to the COVID Uninsured Fund. 

This test consists of a simple nasal swab either self-administered or one of our staff members can do the swab for you.  This is not a deep swab, it stays in the lower part of the nostril

Abbott states their test is has a accuracy rate of over 97%; post-market studies show the accuracy to be in the 75-90% range.  This test is a very specific test, so a positive result is a firm positive; a false negative result could result if we are testing too soon for the antigen to be detected or if we don't retrieve a good enough sample.  If you have symptoms of COVID and test negative on this test, it is recommended you get a PCR test.
 

Rapid PCR Test

We offer the Mesa Biotech Accula COVID Rapid PCR Test which provides results in 30 minutes.

This test is used to test for active infection. It can be used for work, school, travel and event requirements.

This test consists of a simple nasal swab either self-administered or one of our staff members can do the swab for you.  The swab is inserted about 1 inch into the nostril.
