Novant Health offers two types of tests to identify coronavirus infections:
Testing to identify a coronavirus infection is available when clinically necessary, based on guidelines from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS). You may be tested if you believe you have been exposed to the coronavirus or are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. Symptoms can include fever, cough and shortness of breath.
The diagnostic test costs $79-$158, depending on where you get it. Most medical insurance plans cover the costs for those who are symptomatic or have been exposed to COVID-19, but check with your insurance provider in advance to be sure. Your plan may include out-of-pocket costs such as a deductible or copayment. Novant Health covers the testing fee for those who are uninsured.
The cost of an antibody test is $101 and is covered by most insurance plans. If you are uninsured, you can expect to pay a discounted rate. Visit this site to learn about fees for diagnostic and antibody tests at Novant Health GoHealth urgent care locations, which offer extended hours for greater convenience.
