03
What type of lab analysis is carried out?
Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) lab analysis is the gold-standard for COVID-19 detection, confirming the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in a sample.
This test works by first converting the RNA of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which may be present in a sample, into DNA. This DNA will then be amplified to an amount which can then be detected and analyzed by our team of clinical scientists within our CLIA-certified labs.
04
Are there any age restrictions for people using this test?

05
Who pays for the test?

06
What is the patient's financial responsbility?
This will depend on the specifics of your health insurance plan and coverage. We recommend contacting your health plan administrator to determine your financial responsibility.
07
Can I pay for the test myself?
Yes. If your health insurance plan deems this testing as research or investigational and you believe the clinical benefits outweigh the financial cost, you can pay out-of-pocket for testing.
