Rapid COVID-19 Testing, Curbside & Alt Entrance Options – Nextcare

NextCare and its family of brands has announced it will begin using the new Abbott ID-NOW technology to test for COVID-19. This new test is groundbreaking in both its design and efficiency and allows patients to receive their results in under 15 minutes. If a patient is positive for COVID-19, a result will be known in as little as 5 minutes and if a patient is negative for COVID-19, a result will be known in as little as 13 minutes. The efficiency of ID-NOW COVID-19 is helpful in not only allowing the patient to know their specific result, but the speed of the test allows healthcare professionals to make appropriate and more efficient treatment and infection control decisions.

Due to limited supplies, at this time we are reserving these tests for patients who have met provider-determined criteria.

Patients who MAY be eligible for a Rapid COVID-19 Test:

*Non-rapid patients would be eligible for a specimen collection send-out COVID-19 Test.

The above criteria is a generalization of patients who should expect to receive rapid COVID-19 testing and patients who should expect to receive specimen collection send-out COVID-19 testing at locations that offer both options. The final determination will be made at the time of visit by the provider treating the patient.

The locations below with the RAPID COVID-19 TESTING icon (pictured below) have the ability to offer rapid test results.
