If tested at Covid Clinic, we are able to help the majority of travelers with any certifying paperwork that is required. Typically this certification is included in our fee (there are a few exceptions for complex papework, which is uncommon). Please note, at this time, we do not do in-person physical examinations.

Paying for your test

Covid Clinic does not contract with any insurance providers. However, we do encourage people to submit their receipt from Covid Clinic to their insurance companies for reimbursement. Your insurance company will determine if they will reimburse the test or not. Similarly, Medicare will not reimburse you for any tests you receive from Covid Clinic.  You have to pay for the test out-of-pocket.

Booking and managing a test

You are welcome to walk up to a testing site without an appointment. However, in order to ensure you get tested, we recommend booking an appointment. Visit Book a Test to get started.

If you have placed an order for a test and scheduled an appointment, but miss it for any reason, you can still get tested. Simply show up to the testing site when you can.

What to expect during the testing process

Your results will be available through our secure patient portal. A notification about your test results will be sent to the email and phone number you provided during registration.

Yes. All of our testing sites utilize a safe and convenient drive-through testing method.

Depending on what test you're getting, you will either be asked for a cheek swab, nasal swab, or blood from a finger prick. Most of our nasal swab tests only require shallow insertion into the nose.

If the expected response time for your results has passed and you still don’t have them, please reach out to our team at support@covidclinic.org.

No, getting tested shouldn't hurt. It may cause a bit of discomfort for a moment (for example, getting your finger pricked), but it will pass quickly.

No, simply show up at the testing site for your appointment time or as a walk up.

Getting tested (especially if you have an appointment) will only take a few minutes. If the location you're visitng is busy, there may be a short wait. The staff will get to you as quickly as possible.
