Mom called me with respiratory issues. So with her other COPD and blood pressure problems I knew we had to see a doctor. I went online and made her appointment for 11:00 am. We were seen by a friendly staff and the doctor. She was tested and diagnosed with RSV. Quick and easy. No extreme waiting. Loved the experience.

I came in Monday , from the minute I arrived the staff was great. I didn’t wait long in the back when Dr.Coulon came in she was professional and kind and worked with me to figure out what test I could afford because I do not have insurance. All of the staff from front desk to nurses to X-ray tech were very kind and professional. I would recommend coming here if you need a doctor.

Covid test. Signed in. Went home as I live very close. The nurse called and I returned in the allotted 5 minutes. Did the test, saw the doctor for results and an exam. Insurance filed. I went home with a negative result. Easy.

Sunday visit for covid test. In and out in about 90 minutes.

- Verified patient on 12/13

We were travelers just passing through and needing a covid test for some relief work we were going to do. Staff was very friendly and professional.

- Verified patient on 12/2

Very good experience, wait time was a little long, but not unexpected due to the high demand for COVID testing.

- Verified patient on 8/7

Went in for a rapid Covid test. Waited 1:15 minutes for results. Very crowded.

- Verified patient on 7/22

The receptionist was very pleasant. She informed me that even though the clinic was open at 8, the provider, either the physician or nurse practitioner couldn’t arrive until 8:30. When my child’s strep test came back negative, the provider walked in with a diagnosis as a cold. I had to request a flu test which they then said that they would order a Covid test as well to which I did not object. When those came back negative they handed me the same paper with the virus diagnosis. I would’ve preferred a CBC test confirming viral or bacterial or even if they would’ve sent off the strep test to make sure it was negative, but nothing was offered.

- Verified patient on 11/8

I came in with migraine but wanted to rule out COVID. I was quickly show a room and the COVID test was painless. When that came back negative, my blood pressure reading indicating reason for migraine. The Dr explained all my options, gave me a shot to ease the pain, and was instructed to consult with my primary Dr. I truly appreciate the staff’s willingness to diagnose and provide relief, but to refer to my Dr for further treatment. Prior to entering Rapid, I had no idea my pressure was so high.

I found Solv on a Google search for a rapid Covid test, stopped in to inquire, and 30 minutes later I had my test results. Literally everyone on staff were very accommodating and cheerful. I could not have been more pleased.

Went for a Covid test. Very friendly, patient and kind.

- Verified patient on 1/7

Terrible.. I waited 5 hours (I know stuff happens and things come up) but I was told 1.5 hr wait. After two hours I thought well maybe they will call me soon. After 3 hours, I called to make sure I didn’t miss their call. I was told there were still 2 ahead of me. I finally got in.. got eyes rolled at me when I said my work only accepts send out covid tests.. got my test done .. and was told I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE DOCTOR! (By the way, I am only here for a covid test, with no symptoms, just an exposure) Another 45 minutes goes by and the doctor comes in FINALLY and says “okay we will have your results in 45minutes” after I corrected him and told him I did not get the rapid, he said “oh okay, you’ll results will be in in a few days, have a good day”.. WHY DID I HAVE TO STAY THERE AN EXTRA HOUR FOR THAT?! 5 hours in total!!

Mandeville COVID Testing & Rapid Testing

Types of COVID Tests

There are two types of coronavirus tests (COVID-19 tests) available, those that can test for a current infection (viral test) and those that can test for a past infection (antibody test).

Viral COVID testing can be done in a few different ways, the most common being nose swabs, but saliva tests are becoming more popular. Some tests are processed out on-site and can provide results in as little as 30 minutes. These are called rapid COVID tests. The majority of tests, on the other hand, are collected at the clinic on-site and then submitted to off-site labs for processing. Results can take up to 2-3 days to arrive. 

Antibody testing looks for a past infection and may not reveal if you have an active COVID-19 infection because antibodies can take up to three weeks to form in your body. The presence of COVID antibodies may help to prevent you from becoming infected with the same virus again; but, because the clinical understanding of COVID-19 is still developing, it's unclear how long that protection will continue.

Who should get tested for current infection

The CDC currently defines four instances where COVID testing is recommended:

  1. If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 including fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea.
  2. If you have been in close contact with someone with confirmed COVID-19. Close contact is defined as within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period. If you have been vaccinated, or tested positive in the past 3 months and not experiencing symptoms, you do not need to be tested.
  3. If you are unvaccinated and participated in high-risk activities where distancing is not an option. This could include travel, large social or mass gatherings, crowded indoor settings, etc.
  4. If you have been referred to get a COVID test by your healthcare provider or local health department. 

How is testing done for COVID-19?

Most COVID tests are collected by a nasal swab. A member of the medical team puts a swab inside your nose for a few seconds on each side to collect the sample. After that, the samples are packaged according to CDC guidelines and tested on-site or transported to a facility for testing. The lab will test samples for the presence of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID infection and either your care provider or the lab will notify you with the results as soon as they are available.

PCR vs Antigen Testing

Viral COVID tests are available as molecular and antigen tests. The molecular test, also known as a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, usually delivers results within a few days since most of these tests are sent to offsite labs for analysis. The average turnaround time for PCR test results is 48 hours, but in some instances may be significantly longer due to backlogs related to insufficient lab volume and capacity. Antigen tests are also known as rapid tests and have an average turnaround time of between 15 to 30 minutes.

Both PCR and rapid COVID tests can be used to test people exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, those who were close contacts to COVID-19, and those without COVID-19 symptoms who live or work in a high-risk setting (such as a nursing facility); or those individuals who are identified as part of outbreak detection and response. The rapid COVID test is also recommended for the screening of residents or healthcare workers at skilled nursing facilities along with a PCR confirmation, and for repeat screening for the early detection and prevention of outbreaks in congregate settings (such as schools, workplaces, and prisons).

COVID testing is available for free under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which includes testing for those without health insurance. To reduce the risk of facing extra costs related to COVID testing, ask your primary care doctor to recommend a free COVID test site, and confirm there are no charges or fees for the test that are not covered by your insurance plan. Additionally, avoid getting a COVID test at a hospital or free-standing emergency room, as these facilities may charge fees for COVID testing and related services.

COVID-19 Testing FAQs

  • How much does COVID testing cost in Mandeville?

    In many cases, COVID testing can be free. Many state and local health departments continue to offer free testing to community residents as part of their response to the pandemic. In other cases, commercially insured patients, or those on Medicare or Medicaid, may receive testing at no out of pocket cost, or with a nominal office visit copay. For cash paying patients, or those that need rapid COVID testing which will deliver results in under an hour, COVID tests can range from $50 to $150 each. It is best to call your healthcare provider prior to getting tested to better understand the cost of the specific test you require.

  • Where can I get free COVID testing in Mandeville?

    COVID testing is available for free under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which includes testing for those without health insurance. Check with your Mandeville-area health department as they are generally a good source for free COVID tests, or can at least point you in the right direction. Additionally, you can ask your primary care provider to recommend a free COVID test site.

  • Where can I get COVID testing in Mandeville?

    COVID testing is available at many outlets near Mandeville including urgent care centers, retail clinics, primary care offices, health departments, and more. Different venues will have different types of tests available, many at different price points. Some testing sites are allowing walk-in patients, however, many are still requiring some degree of advance booking to control patient volume.

  • Where can I get a rapid COVID test in Mandeville?

    Rapid testing—both PCR (molecular) and antigen tests—is offered through many Mandeville-area urgent care centers and physician offices, usually at an additional cost ranging from $50 up to $150 per test. Usually this will allow you to get results back in under an hour, and require advanced booking through the provider. However, if you can wait 24 hours for your results, many labs are turning around send-out lab tests in that time frame, which could save you some money.

  • How to make an appointment for COVID testing in Mandeville?

    Same-day and next day appointments for COVID testing in Mandeville are bookable directly through Solv. Simply browse the list of healthcare providers conducting COVID tests above, find one with a “Book Online” button, and book a time that aligns with your schedule stating “COVID-19 Test” as your reason for visit.

  • Can I get tested for antibodies if I am sick with COVID-19 Mandeville?

    An antibody test for COVID-19 might inform you if you previously had a coronavirus infection. Because it can take between 1–3 weeks after an infection for your body to develop these antibodies, an antibody test during an active infection would not be successful. To see if you are currently infected, you need a viral test.

  • Do I need a COVID test if I have been vaccinated?

    Even if you have been fully vaccinated, if you have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19, experts believe that you should be tested yourself, particularly if you are experiencing cold and flu symptoms commonly aligned with the coronavirus.

  • How long does COVID testing take?

    Getting a COVID test is quick. Most tests are done with a nasal swab, which takes less than a minute to swab both nostrils. Depending on where you get your COVID test, this means you could be in and out of the testing site in as little as 10-15 minutes. During busy times—particularly around holidays—testing sites may be busier than usual and wait times may be longer.

  • How long does it take to get COVID test results in Mandeville?

    Most labs are returning send-out molecular (PCR) COVID test results within 24-48 hours of the test. Some sites take longer, so call and ask if the reason for the test is proof for travel. Rapid COVID tests are processed on-site and are able to deliver results in under an hour, sometimes in as little as 15 min.

  • Do COVID tests detect the Delta variant and Omicron variant?

    Regular COVID tests are able to detect both the Delta variant and Omicron variant in that they can determine whether or not you have the coronavirus. However, they can't tell which variation is involved. That would necessitate genomic sequencing, which is a different process from regular virus testing that not all labs can undertake. Sequencing is uncommon and can cost up to $100 per test. Since the treatment is the same for any variant, it is not clinically useful to an individual patient to know whether the infection was caused by a variant or not.
