COVID-19 Testing

Please read the following very carefully. 
COVID-19 TESTING TYPES
We are now conducting testing for: 
  • Active COVID-19 in asymptomatic patients  
  • Active COVID-19 in symptomatic patients. Please visit this site for COVID-19 symptoms.
  • Antibody testing to see if you've had COVID-19 previously
Testing is readily available at ALL of our Advanced Urgent Care locations. 

SETTING UP YOUR TESTING
ALL PATIENTS: BEFORE YOUR VISIT, PLEASE PRINT AND FILL OUT THE FIRST TWO PAGES OF THIS FORM. Bring the completed form with you. The fact sheet attached to the form, pages 3 and 4, are for you to keep. This form has been requested by the Monroe County Department of Health to assist in monitoring the COVID-19 spread throughout the Keys. Your information will be confidential. 

NEW PATIENTS: Please call us at (305) 294-0011 to pre-register with a receptionist and schedule a testing appointment. When calling, select the location you would like to visit from the phone menu options. To save time at check-in, click here to download and complete the new patient registration paperwork to bring with you to your appointment.

EXCLUSIONS TO TESTING: We DO NOT have a contractual relationship with Humana, Medicaid, nor do we accept insurance policies that exclude COVID-19 evaluation and treatment. Please call your insurance company for further clarification on what your policy covers. You may also check the Monroe County BOCC site for additional testing centers.

EXISTING PATIENTS: please call us at (305) 294-0011 to schedule a testing appointment and notify our receptionists of any changes in demographic or insurance coverage information since your last visit.

HOW TESTING WORKS
Active COVID-19 Testing
Active COVID-19 testing involves swabbing the upper portion of the nose to retrieve a specimen from the back of the throat. To test active COVID-19 in children, we have special oral testing swabs available.
All active COVID-19 results take 2-6 business days to receive from the lab.

*Please note: Any patient who tests positive for active COVID-19 will be reported to the Monroe County Department of Health by the laboratory analyzing the test. They will reach out to you and take over recommendations. Your results will also assist the Department by gathering useful information that can safeguard our community against the spread of COVID-19.

Antibody COVID-19 Testing
Antibody COVID-19 testing may be done two ways:
  1. A rapid finger stick is used to retrieve a small droplet of blood, which is placed onto a testing cassette. Results are available in 10 minutes.
  2. Standard blood draw. Results take 2-6 business days to receive from the lab. 

BILLING
For insured patients: Advanced Urgent Care bills a visit to your insurance company, as you will need to have a doctor's orders from us to have the test administered. Your insurance will pay for the visit, for us to run the test, and to send the results. 

For uninsured patients: The government will pay for your visit to AUC, and pay for the laboratory to run the test and send us the results. Advanced Urgent Care bills the government through a special website that handles the claims. 

Advanced Urgent Care will participate in this government-mandated program for as long as it is available. It is subject to change without us being notified. Upon notification, we will update this website, so please check regularly. Thank you.
