What Is Rapid COVID-19 Testing?
A rapid antigen test is done here at the counter and read within minutes. No laboratory, no courier, no waiting for an email. That speed is the entire point of it. The trade is sensitivity. A rapid test is very good at catching an active infection when viral levels are high, which is usually when you feel worst. Early in an infection, or with no symptoms at all, it can miss. If a negative result has to be reliable, a PCR test is the better choice.
Who Should Consider COVID-19 Testing?
Farmington patients reach for a rapid test in the situations below: symptoms this morning, an exposure yesterday, a family gathering tonight. It answers the question that cannot wait; PCR handles the ones that need paperwork.
Are experiencing cold, flu, or COVID-like symptoms
Have recently been exposed to someone who tested positive
Need testing before travel
Require testing for work or school
Want reassurance after possible exposure
Need testing before visiting family
Why Need Rapid COVID-19 Testing?
A rapid test is most useful when a decision cannot wait. Whether to keep an appointment, whether to visit someone frail, whether to go in tomorrow. The answer arrives while you are still at the counter rather than two days later. Knowing your status early also lets you seek appropriate medical care, follow recommended precautions, and reduce the risk of spreading illness to those around you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly do I get the result?
Minutes rather than days. The swab takes moments and the result is read shortly afterwards, so you can plan the rest of your day around a real answer rather than a guess.
Should I get a rapid test or a PCR?
Rapid if you have symptoms and want to know today. PCR if a negative needs to be reliable, or if an airline, employer or clinic requires a laboratory result. If you are unsure, describe the situation when you call and we will tell you which is appropriate.
My rapid test was negative but I still feel unwell. What now?
Take that seriously. Rapid tests can miss an infection early on or when viral levels are low. If symptoms continue, a PCR is the sensible follow-up, and we can arrange one at the same location.
Do I need an appointment?
Often not, though calling ahead is worth it, particularly during a busy respiratory season. It also means we can have everything ready rather than you waiting at the counter while unwell.
Can you test my child?
Yes. Mention their age when you call so the right collection approach is ready, and a parent or guardian needs to be present for the visit.
Will I get something in writing?
Yes, if you need it. Say so when you come in and we will provide documentation of the test and result, which an at-home kit cannot give you.
Is it covered by insurance?
It depends on the plan and on why you are testing. Diagnostic testing with symptoms is treated differently to testing for travel or an employer requirement. Call with your card and we will check first.
What happens if I test positive?
A pharmacist will talk you through what to do next, including isolation guidance and when to contact your prescriber. If you take other medications we will also flag anything worth raising with your doctor.
