We offer COVID-19 Nasal PCR and COVID-19 Saliva tests with results available in 24 to 48 hours. We currently do not provide rapid COVID-19 antigen tests.
What does surveillance mean? It means that you are currently not exhibiting any COVID 19 like symptoms or have a known exposure to COVID 19. You are taking this test for work-related purposes (i.e., Not vaccinated) or other personal reasons.
You must have a prescription for EACH scheduled diagnostic COVID 19 test. Please provide each one when you arrive for testing.
This is not for travel testing, and we cannot guarantee results or coverage by your insurance company. Insurance coverage has changed. Since your test can be considered a surveillance test, your insurance company will most likely not cover the cost of this test. Please check with your insurance company for details on coverage for COVID-19 testing before scheduling a test.
Federal funding is no longer available for uninsured patients. If you do not have insurance, you will be required to pay out of pocket before taking the test, or you will need to apply for Charity Care.
For surveillance testing, you will be required to submit payment before the test is administered.

- Do I need a physician order to be tested for COVID-19 if I am symptomatic? For diagnostic testing, we require a physician’s order. If you do not have a physician’s order, and to have testing covered by your insurance plan, you may schedule an appointment with a telehealth physician to obtain an order. Call Telehealth Visits at 201.616.7638. You may elect to pay out of pocket if you do not have an order or wish to schedule a telehealth visit.
- How long until I will get my result? Surveillance and diagnostic test results will be available approximately 24 to 48 hours from 8pm on the day you have your COVID-19 test. Travel test results will be emailed directly to you within 24 hours.
- How will I be notified? Test results are available through the online Patient Portal. Copies of results will NOT be sent to your primary care physician.

- What should I do between getting tested and being notified of my results? Please follow the CDC quarantine guidelines and speak with your primary care or ordering providers. If you have an increase in symptoms or difficulty breathing, please seek immediate medical attention.
- Is this covered by insurance? Your insurance plan may cover medically necessary diagnostic testing authorized by your doctor for symptomatic and asymptomatic infections or exposures. Your insurance plans usually will not cover work-related testing required due to an unvaccinated status or another surveillance test. It is your responsibility to contact your insurer to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs.
- Can my physician order these tests for me? We accept outside orders for symptomatic (diagnostic) patient testing with supporting diagnostic code.
