Q. What types of COVID-19 testing is available at AFC Urgent Care Perth Amboy?
A. AFC Urgent Care Perth Amboy offers standard COVID-19 Testing and Rapid COVID-19 Testing for patients who believe they need a test to determine their current infection risk. A standard test takes 3-5 days for results on average while rapid tests can be completed on the same day as a visit.
Q. What is a Rapid COVID-19 Test? How do rapid COVID tests work?
A. A Rapid PCR test is a nasal swab used to detect an active strain of the COVID-19 virus. Patients that are experiencing symptoms or have been exposed to someone who has tested positive should receive a rapid COVID test. Rapid test results are typically found within fifteen minutes of the test.
Q. What is a standard COVID-19 test and how do they work?
A. A standard COVID test works by swabbing the inside of a patient’s nose, and detecting whether or not they have an active case of the virus. Your test is then sent to and analyzed in our lab. Unlike a rapid test a standard PCR COVID-19 test provides results in a few business days.
Q. When should I get a COVID-19 test?
A. If you believe that you have either traveled to a location with significant cases, made direct contact with an infected patient, or are symptomatic after meeting a confirmed patient then COVID-19 testing may be useful. COVID-19 testing is sometimes a requirement for return to work, school, or other post quarantine activities.
Q. What should I do if I have a positive result?
A. You should stay home and avoid contact with others. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the quarantine process and get enough rest. Monitor your symptoms to make sure you are getting better and stay in touch with your doctor. It is recommended to quarantine for at least 10 days after symptoms start.
Q. What should I do if I have a negative test?
A. Receiving a negative tests means your body did not show active signs of the virus at the time. If you start experiencing symptoms, get tested again. If not, continue following governmental guidelines, wash your hands frequently, maintain a distance of 6 feet between others, and wear a mask when in public.
Q. Is COVID-19 testing covered by insurance?

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.
