To be tested, scan the QR Code on the building once you arrive at our Urgent Care. The QR code will provide you with the Electronic Pre-Registration Form to complete. Once the Pre-Registration Form is submitted you will be added to a virtual queue and a link to complete the registration process will be texted to your phone. Once the Provider/Nursing Staff is ready to see you, they will contact you to enter the building. Please view our hours and location.

Remember, if your child is feeling sick, and you don’t believe it is COVID-19, it is still important to see your provider. This will ensure that your child receives proper care to recover from their illness.

Biofire RVP with Covid:

Sensitivity: 98%

This is a 65-minute in-house test, also known as a Respiratory Viral Panel. It tests several viral illnesses including COVID. It is collected in the intranasal cavity (brain tickler). This test can be used for symptomatic patients and asymptomatic patients. It is also used as a follow-up test to a patient who has tested negative with one of the other tests and still has a “high probability” of having COVID.
