COVID-19 Testing

Due to travel requirements, more and more people are seeking COVID-19 testing. Most insurance companies will not pay for COVID-19 testing that is not medically necessary. Testing for recreational or travel purposes is not deemed medically necessary. Most insurance companies will only pay for medically necessary tests, such as COVID-19 exposure or those presenting symptoms of the coronavirus.

Please be aware that the patient is responsible for testing costs if insurance denies a claim for COVID-19 testing due to medical necessity.

Rapid Testing

Rapid test results return quickly, usually within the hour. These tests are accepted for Canadian-US border travel.

Fee: $150.00

Rheonix Testing

Rheonix test results return within 48-72 hours. These tests are accepted for Canadian-US border travel.

Fee: $100.00

Canadian patients must pay at the time of services.

US patients with insurance will have their insurance company billed at the time of service but will receive a final bill if the claim for COVID-19 testing is denied.
