Molecular PCR Test (Sent to External Lab) – GOLD STANDARD TEST
Molecular PCR Tests are COVID-19 tests are most accurate in results and hence are sent out to a partner lab to be processed. DO NOT select this if you need an urgent response. These are often used by employers to test employees or anyone who does not have an urgent need to get a PCR result back. The lab is currently averaging 1-2 days based on the current demand.
The cost of the molecular PCR Test is $0 (covered by most insurances or free through the HRSA government fund) if you have been exposed or around someone who is positive. If you are testing for any other reason, you may receive a bill from the Lab.
