How will I get my results?
Lab Results typically take anywhere between 3-5 business days from the time the lab receives your specimen, usually the following morning of your visit. Specimens are picked up at the end of the day. Sometimes they are fast, sometimes they are longer, this is an estimate!
You will be called on Positive Results only by us and the FDOH
You can access your lab results through your patient portal by registering

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.
