Test details
The COVID-19 RT-PCR test is a molecular diagnostic test to identify if you currently carry or are infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The test is a qualitative test that detects the genetic material from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus that causes COVID-19. This test helps identify if you have been exposed to the virus and currently carry the virus. Symptom can range from mild (or no symptoms) to severe illness. One can be infected from respiratory droplets when an infected person sneezes or coughs. Other ways that one can be infected is by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, and then touching their mouth, nose, or eyes.
Individuals can have COVID-19 testing fully paid by their health plan or the government, with no out of pocket cost, when billed to the health plan or the government. If you are looking for that No-Cost option, contact your healthcare provider.
You may be able to submit the expenses associated with this testing to your Health Savings Account, Flexible Spending Account, Health Reimbursement Account, or similar account for reimbursement. Please check with your health account administrator.

Test details
The COVID-19 (IgG) antibody is being tested to identify if you have been exposed to the virus.
This is not a diagnostic for an active infection.

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, which can lead to a false negative result.
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.

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.

Here in the US, two different vaccines have been approved for use against the COVID-19 pandemic, and both use a new way of training the immune system without exposing the body to any virus or piece of the virus. Through mRNA, these vaccines train the immune system to recognize and prevent the virus’ use of the Spike protein.
This spike protein antibody test can be used to determine if your body has developed antibodies from the vaccine. It takes from 14-21 days after the second vaccine to see results but everyone is unique, and each immune system can develop at different rates. If a negative response is seen, a second test taken 2-3 weeks later will allow for additional time for the antibodies to develop.
A positive Spike Protein antibody test is not an absolute guarantee of total immunity from COVID-19. Additional testing, including PCR or Antigen tests, may still be necessary in some situations (i.e. return to work, travel, etc.)
