MedExpress is offering COVID-19 evaluations and testing at designated centers to help support our local communities' health care needs amid the pandemic. In order to ensure individuals receive the highest-quality care and treatment, all individuals seeking care at MedExpress for known or suspected COVID-19 cases will receive an examination by a MedExpress health care professional who will determine if testing is needed and which testing method may be most appropriate, including rapid antigen and laboratory send-out PCR COVID-19 testing. Please note that for the most accurate COVID-19 test results, the CDC and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) recommend that individuals who are not showing symptoms, but who have had close contact with an individual who has tested positively for COVID-19, wait five to seven days after the known exposure to get a COVID-19 test. Additionally, the CDC and AAFP recommend self-quarantining for 14 days after a known exposure to COVID-19, even if no symptoms are present.

Hi Mica -- MedExpress is currently offering rapid and laboratory send-out COVID-19 tests for a known or suspected exposure to COVID-19. The type of test administered is determined by our providers after a medical evaluation and is based upon CDC recommendations and considerations, the type and duration of symptoms, and other criteria which can be found at https://www.medexpress.com/covid19.html. If you are administered a rapid test, results will be communicated during the visit. If the results are negative, we may recommend sending out a COVID-19 lab test and asking the patient to quarantine until their results are available. When you visit MedExpress for COVID-19 testing, we will collect your co-pay and bill your insurance for the medical evaluation and treatment received from our medical providers. The COVID-19 test is an additional cost. Additional information can be found on our website.

Many health insurance companies across the country have stated that they will cover the cost of testing for COVID-19. However, it is a good idea to check with your insurance company to learn if it covers the test and what portion of treatment may be covered based on the specifics of your individual health plan. For those without insurance, self-pay services for the medical evaluation and treatment received from our medical providers start $129 in Virginia centers. This price does not include any fees incurred by our lab partner, LabCorp. Timing may vary depending on the volume of tests being performed by our commercial lab partner, but, at this time, it currently takes around 3-7 days for patients to get results.
