A Rapid COVID-19 test is the fastest test for detecting the presence of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Rapid COVID testing uses a swab like a standard diagnostic test. A swab is then analyzed in a lab to determine a positive or negative viral infection.
Rapid tests can bring back patient results on the same day of testing and with high levels of accuracy. Unlike traditional swab tests, our providers are able to swab and get results back on the same day. A standard test is likely to take a few days to finalize results. Rapid testing allows our providers to get results back to patients within 15 to 20 minutes after testing is completed.
At Instant Urgent Care, all of our clinics offer Rapid Antigen COVID-19 testing for patients that need a fast diagnosis for medical and return-to-work clearance. Usually, patients that are remaining in their local neighborhoods for work and personal activities benefit from same-day rapid antigen COVID-19 testing that can return your results in a matter of 15 minutes.
However, patients may need to get a specific RT-PCR test for travel-related needs if they are flying to another state or country. Please consult our team for more information as needed.
Instant Urgent Care centers are now equipped with Abbott’s ID NOW Rapid Molecular test to provide the fastest and most reliable rapid testing results for patients. Abbott’s Molecular test has testing rates as accurate as 95% for patients and is the most widely researched testing method available.
Based on recent Abbott ID NOW rapid testing statistics: “In a completed analysis from a multi-site urgent care clinical setting of 430 symptomatic patients with two or more symptoms, including 53 PCR positive subjects, ID NOW demonstrated performance of 96.2% in positive agreement (sensitivity) and 99.5% negative agreement (specificity) compared to lab-based molecular PCR tests.

FAQs About Rapid COVID Testing at Instant Urgent Care:
Are you offering testing for coronavirus (COVID-19)?
Yes, we are currently offering COVID-19 testing for both antibody testing and rapid testing.
What is the difference between rapid testing and antibody testing?
COVID-19 rapid testing detects an active infection of the virus. When patients come in the get either a positive or negative test result. The result determines if the virus is active in your body or if there is no detection of it at all.
COVID-19 antibody testing detects the presence of antibodies from a previous COVID infection that determines if a patient has immunity to a virus. Many patients do not need an antibody test right away and would benefit from a rapid test.
