RAPID COVID TESTING

Now offering RAPID COVID-19 testing

Medical Associates of Georgia in Alpharetta is now offering rapid COVID-19 testing.  The quickest of the COVID-19 tests, a rapid test uses a technique called isothermal nucleic acid amplification. Test results come back in 15 minutes

WHO CAN RECEIVE THE RAPID SWAB?

Anyone possibly exposed to the virus or who are exhibiting symptoms need to be tested for COVID-19. Also, those who work in high-sensitive positions — such as those who work with the elderly or in a hospital — need to be tested regularly for COVID-19. With test times as quick as 15 minutes, it is easier and more convenient to acquire results, especially when required on a regular basis.
Initial tele-visit evaluation with Dr. Syed is required before testing.

COSTS

Self-Pay and out of network COVID-19 Rapid test price:
$220

Insured in network cost of COVID-19 Rapid testing:
$100

NOTE: if you are asymptomatic for COVID-19 or not considered “high risk” your insurance will most likely not cover the cost of the consult prior to testing.
For this reason, the upfront costs are the same as the self-pay rate.
