  1. Antigen Test for COVID-19

  2. Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test This test is used to rapidly detect an active COVID-19 infection in a patient. Results are generally reported within 30 minutes at most locations.

  3. What Does the Test Measure? COVID-19 antigen tests evaluate whether there are indications of infection with SARS- CoV-2. They check for specific proteins on the outside surface of the virus called antigens in a test sample taken from the nostril or the area at the back of the nose. the presence of these antigens is a sign of an active infection.

  4. How Much Does the Test Cost? Antigen tests are less costly than many other types of tests, including PCRs, but the exact cost can vary based on where the test is conducted, whether it is covered by insurance, and the specific brand of test that is used.

  5. How Is a Covid-19 Antigen Test Different From an Antibody Test? Antigen and Antibody tests have a different purpose. Antigen tests look for active infection, but Antibody tests look for past infection. Antigens are a part of the virus, while an Antibody is something that the immune system creates in response to being exposed to a viral antigen.

  6. How Will I Get My Results? A copy of the test result will be sent to the email and phone number provided on the consent form.
