Frequently Asked Questions

The test assay is a SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) polymerase Chain reaction (PCR/RT-PCR/qRT-PCR) viral nucleic acid amplification test (NAA, or NAAT). The assay is permitted under the FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA 200914). The confirmatory test is authorized under the FDA Emergency Use Authorization.

For Tahiti and French Polynesia only the test is also RT-PCR NAA and is authorized under FDA EUA, but uses a test kit that complies with Tahiti requirements. This test is more expensive ($50 extra) and time consuming (results by 7pm next day instead of 5pm).

Our custom travel documentation ($35 additional) includes:

A letter with your identifying information verifying the testing methodology and the lab's certifications, in addition to re-stating your test result.
Copies of the lab's CMS CLIA and CDPH Laboratory License certificates
Other specific documentation if required by individual destinations (Hong Kong, Japan, Thai Fit to Fly, Austria and others).

No. We cannot guarantee the behavior of any airline, government or customs personnel, and cannot know about every change in each country's requirements. Knowing the requirements is your responsibility. However we are familiar with each country's rules and our documentation has been successful for all of our patients so far, as long as you give us the correct name and other identifying information that matches your passport.

Nasopharyngeal Swab RT-PCR COVID-19 Testing

$365 for visit and swab collection at our office, and the lab fee for expedited next-day PCR results delivered by 17:00 PM PST.
$35 for customized additional travel documentation and certificates (in addition to lab report) if needed.
$75 extra fee for priority delivery next day by 09:00 AM PST, request after booking.
Payment is due in full; your credit card will be charged on the day of service.
Commercial PPO insurance may reimburse fees out of network in part or full to you later, depending on your policy.

If you cancel or reschedule more than 48 hours before the appointment time, there is no penalty and you are not charged. Between 4-48 hours before the appointment, there is a $165 late cancel/reschedule fee. Less than 4 hours before the appointment the full fee is charged. We do not offer refunds.

The reason for these policies is to serve the most number of people who want to obtain testing. Late cancels and no shows deprive others of the opportunity to schedule.

COVID-19 Testing Details

Types of Tests

PCR to Find Current Infection. If you want to know if you may be currently infectious to others, even if you are not symptomatic, then the Nasopharyngeal Swab RT-PCR test is the most sensitive test currently available. This is also the test required for entry into other states and countries.It has the maximum sensitivity and specificity and is the "gold standard" against which other types of tests are compared.
What about antibody testing? Antibody testing is not a reliable way to pick up current or recent infection, and is not accepted by any governments. The presence or absence of antibodies also cannot reliably predict immunity. We can do this if you are curious however, for an additional fee.
What about rapid antigen or rapid molecular testing? Rapid antigen testing technology does not provide enough sensitivity to rely on when testing non-symptomatic people - it was not developed to diagnose asymptomatic infection and misses up to 30-50% of active cases. Thus it is generally not acceptable for important screening like travel, and all governments seem to understand this (except Hawai'i).
