What Do I Do if I Test Positive for COVID-19?

If you are COVID-positive and meet medical requirements, we offer the possibility of a Paxlovid prescription (nirmatrelvir tablets or ritonavir tablets). According to research, Paxlovid lowers COVID-19 infection-related hospitalizations and fatalities. It is typically prescribed for patients who are more likely to experience disease progression. In general, those who are older, unvaccinated, or who have other higher-risk medical conditions are more likely to experience COVID-19 hospitalizations and/or death. Please see the CDC website for more information.

A Paxlovid dosage consists of 2 pink tablets (or 150 mg) of nirmatrelvir and one white-ish tablet (100mg) of ritonavir, taken in the morning and again in the evening by mouth with water and/or food for five days.

Side effects of Paxlovid include allergic reactions and liver disease. Paxlovid does not mix well with all medications, and it is important to inform your medical provider if you are taking other medications.

When Should You Be Tested?

  • If you are experiencing any symptoms (cough, fever, body aches, shortness of breath, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, loss of smell, headache)
  • If you’ve potentially been exposed to an ill individual

Will My Insurance Cover My Covid-19 Visit?

If using medical insurance, the rates for your office visit are determined by your copay/insurance - not our facility. Please call your insurance provider directly if you have questions about your coverage and financial responsibility.

AFC Urgent Care FAQs

  • Why does AFC provide two different COVID tests?

    We offer a rapid test because they provide highly reliable results on the spot; however, they do produce more false negatives than the RT-PCR COVID-19 Test. Doing both tests is our way of ensuring that you get the most accurate results possible without having to put your life on hold.

  • How long does it take to get a COVID test?

    We're able to get many patients in and out in a matter of minutes, but the length of time you'll spend in our clinic will depend on wait times that day.

  • How much does it cost to get a COVID test?

    That will ultimately depend on your insurance coverage. Presently, many people with insurance are able to get tested at no charge. If you’re uninsured, AFC’s cash pay prices are highly competitive – contact us for the details.
