If you are experiencing a fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms defined by the CDC, there is a chance you have COVID-19. If so, you likely need to be tested for the virus. Additionally, if you have been exposed to someone who has already tested positive, COVID testing is probably a good idea as many people experience only mild symptoms, or are completely asymptomatic, yet possess and can transmit the virus. There are two kinds of COVID tests: a viral test that checks for active infection, and an antibody test that may indicate a past infection.

Viral COVID testing is conducted in a couple of different manners, mostly commonly via nasal swabs, however, saliva tests are becoming more popular. These tests are typically sent out to a lab for processing and could take up to 10 days to receive results. In some cases, testing centers are able to offer rapid COVID tests, process the tests on-location, and get the results back in under one hour. The CDC has offered helpful guidance on interpreting these COVID test results. It is important to note that even if you test positive, most people have mild symptoms and can recover at home without medical care.

Antibody testing may not show if you have an active COVID infection as it could take up to 3 weeks for your body to develop the antibodies. The presence of COVID antibodies may help in preventing you from getting infected with the same virus again, however, it is unknown how long that protection might last as the clinical understanding of COVID-19 is changing so rapidly.

  • Can I get tested for antibodies if I am sick with COVID-19?

    An antibody test for COVID-19 might inform you if you previously had a coronavirus infection. Because it can take between 1–3 weeks after an infection for your body to develop these antibodies, an antibody test during an active infection would not be successful. To see if you are currently infected, you need a viral test.

  • Who should be tested for the coronavirus?

    While decisions about who should be tested for COVID-19 infections are being made by state and local health departments or healthcare providers, the CDC has developed national guidance to support these decisions. It is important to note, however, that not everyone needs to be tested for COVID-19. Prior to booking a COVID or antibody test on Solv or visiting a Boynton Beach COVID testing site, it is best to contact the provider for the latest testing protocols.

  • How much do a COVID-19 and antibody tests cost?

    In most cases, COVID-19 testing and antibody testing is available at no out of pocket cost if you are covered by commercial insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. You will likely have to pay a normal office visit copay, however. For cash paying patients, the two largest labs have reported that the Medicare rates (likely the lowest cost) to process an antibody test is around $50 and $100-$200 for a PCR swab test. It is important to understand that many healthcare providers are requiring screenings prior to testing, which may or may not be covered by your insurance, and may or may not require additional copays.
