COVID-19 Testing

Will My Insurance Cover COVID-19 Testing?

Per the CARES Act, most insurances have announced that they will cover the full cost of any testing or treatment for COVID-19. However, please contact your individual plan to verify coverage for any COVID-19 testing at AM/PM Urgent Care with Englewood Health. Any inquiries regarding lab bills should be directed to the lab.

If you are coming to our center for asymptomatic COVID-19 testing for clearance for work, travel, school or other activities, please contact your insurance plan to confirm they will cover the cost of your visit and testing. Some insurance plans may deny or apply cost sharing (copays, coinsurance or deductibles) to COVID-19 related claims as guidelines under the CARES Act are updated.

Do I need a doctor’s referral to be tested for COVID-19?

No, you do not need a doctor’s referral to be tested for COVID-19 at any of our locations. AM/PM Urgent Care with Englewood Health offers convenient, walk-in viral testing and evaluations without requiring a prior order from a primary care physician. We welcome walk-ins daily, or you can check-in online to save time before your visit.

When Should I Seek Medical Attention for COVID-19?

If you are experiencing mild to moderate symptoms such as a persistent fever, cough, sore throat, or mild wheezing, you should seek medical attention at AM/PM Urgent Care with Englewood Health. Our team can evaluate your symptoms, provide testing, and determine if you are eligible for antiviral treatments.

However, if you or a loved one experience any of these emergency warning signs, please call 911 or go directly to the nearest emergency room:

    • Severe trouble breathing or extreme shortness of breath
    • Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
    • New confusion or difficulty waking up or staying awake
    • Pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, or nail bedswhat

Should I Get Tested for COVID-19?

Many people who get the Coronavirus only develop minor symptoms, or in some cases never show symptoms at all. These symptoms can resemble cold or respiratory illness effects and include:

  • Mild to severe fever
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath

These symptoms typically begin anywhere from a day or two all the way up to 14 days after initial exposure. Many of the patients that have had severe complications from the virus also have pneumonia in both lungs.

While our Coronavirus testing will determine whether you currently have the disease, AM/PM Urgent Care with Englewood Health also offers Coronavirus antibody testing that can determine whether you have ever been infected. Understanding if you should get tested for COVID-19 is critically important because so many cases never show symptoms, and testing is necessary to clear people to go back to work safely.

What If I Do Not Have Insurance?

If you do not have insurance and are a self-pay patient, please contact AM/PM Urgent Care with Englewood Health your nearest office location directly to confirm current self-pay pricing and options before your visit.
