The rapid antibody and antigen tests and Rapid RT-PCR will take approximately 1 hour depending on volume of tests being performed.

The PCR test usually takes 3-5 days depending on the lab. Once we collect the sample it is out of our hands and will depend on Labcorps processing time.

Unfortunately the PCR test processing time is out of our hands. You can call Labcorp directly and ask what their processing time is. We send the tests out every day and it is out of our hands once Labcorp picks up the specimen.

Insurance does not cover the Rapid Tests but you are welcome to submit a claim.

Every state and country changes their requirements regularly. Unfortunately we cannot guide you through each individual requirement. It is your responsibility to determine if these tests will work for your travel. Please see the names of all the tests we use below.
