COVID-19 Testing FAQs

  • How much does COVID testing cost in Freeport?

    In many cases, COVID testing can be free. Many state and local health departments continue to offer free testing to community residents as part of their response to the pandemic. In other cases, commercially insured patients, or those on Medicare or Medicaid, may receive testing at no out of pocket cost, or with a nominal office visit copay. For cash paying patients, or those that need rapid COVID testing which will deliver results in under an hour, COVID tests can range from $50 to $150 each. It is best to call your healthcare provider prior to getting tested to better understand the cost of the specific test you require.

  • Where can I get free COVID testing in Freeport?

    COVID testing is available for free under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which includes testing for those without health insurance. Check with your Freeport-area health department as they are generally a good source for free COVID tests, or can at least point you in the right direction. Additionally, you can ask your primary care provider to recommend a free COVID test site.

  • Where can I get COVID testing in Freeport?

    COVID testing is available at many outlets near Freeport including urgent care centers, retail clinics, primary care offices, health departments, and more. Different venues will have different types of tests available, many at different price points. Some testing sites are allowing walk-in patients, however, many are still requiring some degree of advance booking to control patient volume.

  • Where can I get a rapid COVID test in Freeport?

    Rapid testing—both PCR (molecular) and antigen tests—is offered through many Freeport-area urgent care centers and physician offices, usually at an additional cost ranging from $50 up to $150 per test. Usually this will allow you to get results back in under an hour, and require advanced booking through the provider. However, if you can wait 24 hours for your results, many labs are turning around send-out lab tests in that time frame, which could save you some money.

  • How to make an appointment for COVID testing in Freeport?

    Same-day and next day appointments for COVID testing in Freeport are bookable directly through Solv. Simply browse the list of healthcare providers conducting COVID tests above, find one with a “Book Online” button, and book a time that aligns with your schedule stating “COVID-19 Test” as your reason for visit.

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

    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.

  • Do I need a COVID test if I have been vaccinated?

    Even if you have been fully vaccinated, if you have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19, experts believe that you should be tested yourself, particularly if you are experiencing cold and flu symptoms commonly aligned with the coronavirus.

  • How long does COVID testing take?

    Getting a COVID test is quick. Most tests are done with a nasal swab, which takes less than a minute to swab both nostrils. Depending on where you get your COVID test, this means you could be in and out of the testing site in as little as 10-15 minutes. During busy times—particularly around holidays—testing sites may be busier than usual and wait times may be longer.

  • How long does it take to get COVID test results in Freeport?

    Most labs are returning send-out molecular (PCR) COVID test results within 24-48 hours of the test. Some sites take longer, so call and ask if the reason for the test is proof for travel. Rapid COVID tests are processed on-site and are able to deliver results in under an hour, sometimes in as little as 15 min.

  • Do COVID tests detect the Delta variant and Omicron variant?

    Regular COVID tests are able to detect both the Delta variant and Omicron variant in that they can determine whether or not you have the coronavirus. However, they can't tell which variation is involved. That would necessitate genomic sequencing, which is a different process from regular virus testing that not all labs can undertake. Sequencing is uncommon and can cost up to $100 per test. Since the treatment is the same for any variant, it is not clinically useful to an individual patient to know whether the infection was caused by a variant or not.

The PA who gave us the Covid test was great. Friendly, professional and a pleasure to deal with

It was ok. The MD was nice but being a provider I noticed some not so nice bed side manner. Overall it was ok. Next time if I need covid testing I’ll go to cvs drive thru. I believed the results come quicker anyway

- Verified patient on 5/7

Im a health care worker and I see many patients in a day but when people come to a facility they expect to be be treated with care not like they are just another number not to mention the Doctor he had the smell of cigarettes on him. I dont smoke so I noticed it right away. At the time of my visit they only had that one docter doing the test and people were coming in. You need at least 2 to 3 people doing the test. My friend was there as well and the doctor just did the covid test on her and ignored any of her c/o and concerns. I disappointed with the entire experience. As health care workers we have to be better and do better.

The doctor I saw was very friendly. Warm bedside manner. Nurse was very pleasant. The front desk was very busy but helpful! Best part you are open on SUNDAY! And I was able to get a Covid test! Thank you!

I am a Prohealth employee. I did not have an appointment to get a rapid covid test, but they were able to accommodate me. Big thank you to Stephanie in Freeport location for fitting me in.

- Verified patient on 11/18

I had a rapid COVID test which overall was a good experience. What was a little puzzling to me was the difference between my nephew’s experience and mine. We both had our video chat on Sunday 8/23, my nephew was given the option to get tested that day (Sunday) which he did at the Poughkeepsie location. I was told testing was only M-F 9-3, so I got tested Monday ( I would have rather tested on Sunday and been able to go to work Monday like my nephew did). When I called back on Sunday to try to get tested that day, the two different people I talked to told me testing wasn’t available on Sunday even tho my nephew was just tested? On Sunday my nephew was given a complete print out of the test results. On Monday I was just given a copy of the order with “negative” hand written, which my employer would not accept, when I called back Monday to try to get the printed report, I was told it was not in the computer yet and wouldn’t be until later that night? The person I talked to was very helpful and called me back at 8pm to tell me it had just been faxed to my employer. My experience was good, but wondering why my nephew’s experience was so much more efficient?

- Verified patient on 8/26

We had appointments for 3:00 pm and 3:20 pm respectively. Checked in on the phone so we just had to wait a few minutes for our covid tests. Sabrina was friendly and efficient. Well balanced bedside manner. Blood taking was painless and quick. The doctor who took tge swabs was efficient as well. We would highly recommend the Freeport facility.

- Verified patient on 1/30

This care facility is a little gem. I made my appointment, checked in online and showed up at my scheduled time and there was virtually no wait. Admittedly, reception was a little dry, but I tossed it up to the strain of our current time. They all must be terribly exhausted. I remained cheerful and eventually they warmed up. The person who brought me back to the private room was also a bit cold, but again, was sure it was more about fatigue and their grueling response to COVID. The nurse practitioner however, was wonderful, made me feel very comfortable, answered all my questions, took the necessary COVID tests and offered to call me with the results so I wouldn't have to wait. I really appreciated that. She called fifteen minutes later and I was done. I will definitely be back as I prefer to schedule an appointment and not walk in and wait when I can't get to my primary care physician. Under normal circumstances, I would give them a four as the environment wasn't warm and welcoming however, I give them a five because despite the horrors of COVID and the risk they take everyday for many thankless guests, the fact that they can crack a smile at all is truly remarkable. I am grateful for the service they provided me and grateful for what they are doing for the world. Thank you ProHealth and best wishes to you all. You are absolute heroes.

Nurse and doctor were both great with my 5 year old getting q covid test

- Verified patient on 2/13

Me and my family have been to Urgent Care many times for Covid testing but this was the first at this location. While your PA was extremely nice and caring, I can’t say the same of your front desk receptionist. We arrived on the day before Christmas eve without appointments because the phone recording clearly says that one was not necessary. She was totally unprofessional and rude, abrupt and out of line. My daughter was then able to schedule us for Christmas Day, but, again, the receptionist at the desk was unpleasant and abrupt in her demeanor. These are extremely difficult circumstances and every one is trying to cope to their abilities but a little compassion and understanding is certainly not much to ask from a health care agency. This is not the type of job someone should have if he/she doesn’t like dealing with the public, no matter the situation. Or, perhaps they should seek other employment that keeps them in a room with no social interaction. Urgent Care really needs to address how their receptionist staffing handles such matters if they’re going to see me in the future.

I called on Sunday to find out how to get a Tuesday appointment for COVId test since every time I went online all dates were greyed out- Debbie told me to go online at midnight (12:01am) when Tuesday opens - I did and we got a Tuesday appointment in no time- thanks Debbie - this should be listed on the website so that patients know the “trick” otherwise patients to wait on long lines in the cold weather as can be seen as you drive by all urgent care facilities these days - checking in and sitting in your car waiting for a call much better than freezing - once inside very quick and quick results thank you

- Verified patient on 1/6

Computers were down so my appointment took a little longer than usual. Staff and doctors were friendly and helpful. Got my rapid COVID test back and it was negative. So I have nothing to complain about. Actually, I’m very thankful that the staff and doctors are doing a great job during this stressful pandemic. With as much money as ProHealth makes, you should give your staff a big fat raise.

Went for Covid test. Extremely organized

- Verified patient on 11/18

I cannot express how grateful I am to have this ProHealth facility nearby. Even in these crazy times, the facility was, as always, clean, dependable and filled w caring employees. I had called my primary for an appointment, thinking I had a severe sinus infection. Understandably, as some of my symptoms overlapped w COViD 19 symptoms (severe headache, dizziness, nausea), she asked me to go to a (different) urgent care instead. I knew better, and went to Pro-Health immediately. While I had the option to make an appointment online, they were running 3 days out, so I tried my luck, and walked in. I knew I could count on their safety protocols. I was the only person in the large waiting room. There was a receptionist on the phone when I arrived, it wasn’t 5 seconds later that a second appeared, took my info (I wanted a rapid COVID 19 test first, in case). He apologetically explained that he would call me on my cell when it was time to come in. I laughed: under the circumstances, I expected to wait upwards of 3 hours! They texted me a link, and I filled out paperwork in the car, then rec’d a link letting me watch my exact place in line, in real time. Clearly, they have some staff dealing w walk-ins, and others with those w appts. I was called in less than 50 mins later! This was my first COVID test, and we’ve all heard stories about that nasal/“brain” swab! This technician was thorough, but gentle. No sudden poke, but gentle twisting in both nostrils, sure to get at different parts of each nostril. I was asked to wait in the room for results, which came back (negative🤗) in less than a half hour. The Dr who came in to follow up about my sinus infection was professional and personable. As I’d had no fever, and was already taking Flonase, he started me on a 6 day course of steroids. 2 1/2 days in, and I already see an improvement!! I have used Pro-Health for years, whenever I was unable to see my primary. I have never once been disappointed. How they can handle the amount of people they are, while keeping patients apart, is nothing short of amazing!

Some staff were having an argument in front of the patients. Also, the attending nurse administer the COVID test sample was not very gentle. She appeared she was not having a good day and it was coming out in her approach with the patients.

Although I only did the drive up, I felt it was organized and safe. I liked the contactless check in and my wait time wasn’t bad. I made an appt for regular test 2 wks ago but was called to tell me they couldn’t honor appts but I could drive up for test. She never said the drive up was only for rapid test! I clearly said I did not want the rapid one when I made the original appointment so she knew. She just said I would need to do drive up. I waited about 45 min before they opened and about 15 min once they began testing. I did the check in on my phone. My only complaint was that I did not check for the rapid Covid test and thought I was getting the regular one. When my results were called in that night, I realized that I was given the rapid one which I heard is not as effective. Why ask me to check which test I wanted if you’re given only the rapid test?

I went for a covid test for a procedure which, I thought was free. Unbeknownst to me, I was told that the I/health insurance carrier would be charged for the tests if I chose to take both. Please clarify costs with patients, state data vs. office data in reference to covid testing charges.

The staff was welcoming. I did wait 15 minutes past my scheduled time for the Rapid Covid test. The doctor really seemed to care about my concerns and took the time to speak with me. I received my results quickly.

Freeport COVID Testing & Rapid Testing

Types of COVID Tests

There are two types of coronavirus tests (COVID-19 tests) available, those that can test for a current infection (viral test) and those that can test for a past infection (antibody test).

Viral COVID testing can be done in a few different ways, the most common being nose swabs, but saliva tests are becoming more popular. Some tests are processed out on-site and can provide results in as little as 30 minutes. These are called rapid COVID tests. The majority of tests, on the other hand, are collected at the clinic on-site and then submitted to off-site labs for processing. Results can take up to 2-3 days to arrive. 

Antibody testing looks for a past infection and may not reveal if you have an active COVID-19 infection because antibodies can take up to three weeks to form in your body. The presence of COVID antibodies may help to prevent you from becoming infected with the same virus again; but, because the clinical understanding of COVID-19 is still developing, it's unclear how long that protection will continue.

Who should get tested for current infection

The CDC currently defines four instances where COVID testing is recommended:

  1. If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 including fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea.
  2. If you have been in close contact with someone with confirmed COVID-19. Close contact is defined as within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period. If you have been vaccinated, or tested positive in the past 3 months and not experiencing symptoms, you do not need to be tested.
  3. If you are unvaccinated and participated in high-risk activities where distancing is not an option. This could include travel, large social or mass gatherings, crowded indoor settings, etc.
  4. If you have been referred to get a COVID test by your healthcare provider or local health department. 

How is testing done for COVID-19?

Most COVID tests are collected by a nasal swab. A member of the medical team puts a swab inside your nose for a few seconds on each side to collect the sample. After that, the samples are packaged according to CDC guidelines and tested on-site or transported to a facility for testing. The lab will test samples for the presence of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID infection and either your care provider or the lab will notify you with the results as soon as they are available.

PCR vs Antigen Testing

Viral COVID tests are available as molecular and antigen tests. The molecular test, also known as a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, usually delivers results within a few days since most of these tests are sent to offsite labs for analysis. The average turnaround time for PCR test results is 48 hours, but in some instances may be significantly longer due to backlogs related to insufficient lab volume and capacity. Antigen tests are also known as rapid tests and have an average turnaround time of between 15 to 30 minutes.

Both PCR and rapid COVID tests can be used to test people exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, those who were close contacts to COVID-19, and those without COVID-19 symptoms who live or work in a high-risk setting (such as a nursing facility); or those individuals who are identified as part of outbreak detection and response. The rapid COVID test is also recommended for the screening of residents or healthcare workers at skilled nursing facilities along with a PCR confirmation, and for repeat screening for the early detection and prevention of outbreaks in congregate settings (such as schools, workplaces, and prisons).

COVID testing is available for free under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which includes testing for those without health insurance. To reduce the risk of facing extra costs related to COVID testing, ask your primary care doctor to recommend a free COVID test site, and confirm there are no charges or fees for the test that are not covered by your insurance plan. Additionally, avoid getting a COVID test at a hospital or free-standing emergency room, as these facilities may charge fees for COVID testing and related services.
