Coronavirus (COVID-19) IgM/IgG Antibody Test
Test details
This test will identify both IgM and IgG antibodies if present. The IgM antibody is detected if you have an active virus or have recently been exposed to the virus.
This is not a diagnostic test for an active infection.
Free options for testing are available. The COVID-19 Antibody Test may be covered by your insurance plan or the government, with no out-of-pocket costs to you. If you are looking for that no-cost option, contact your healthcare provider.
You may be able to submit the expense associated with this test to your Health Savings Account, Flexible Spending Account, Health Reimbursement Account, or similar account for reimbursement. Please check with your health account administrator.
Note: This test can sometimes detect antibodies from other coronaviruses, which can cause a false positive result if you have been previously diagnosed with or exposed to other types of coronaviruses. Additionally, if you test too soon, your body may not have produced enough IgG antibodies to be detected by the test yet, which can lead to a false negative result.
