How can I get the COVID-19 antibody test?

The COVID-19 antibody test is available at urgent care centers , walk-in clinics , pharmacies, lab test providers, and hospitals, says the CDC. Contact your healthcare provider directly to find out if it offers the COVID antibody test, or use Solv to find a testing provider in your area. Solv also allows you to make a same- or next-day appointment.

How do COVID-19 antibody tests differ from diagnostic tests?

COVID-19 antibody tests can tell you if you have had a previous COVID-19 infection, says the FDA. In comparison, a diagnostic COVID test can tell you if you are currently infected by COVID-19. If your goal is to find out whether you currently have COVID-19, ask your healthcare provider about your options for diagnostic tests, or use Solv to find a nearby COVID-19 testing provider.

What should I expect when I take the antibody test?

According to New York City Health, the COVID-19 antibody test requires giving a blood sample. During the test, your healthcare provider will take a sample of your blood with a quick finger prick or by drawing blood from a vein in your arm. The NIH adds that this test usually only takes about five minutes. Your healthcare provider will contact you to discuss your results after they return.

I needed a covid test prior to a procedure. It's impossible to get that done in Franklin County and nearly impossible to in Johnson County, even with a doctor's order. They will only give the test if you have covid symptoms, which is ridiculous. You fill out the online forms, send a copy of your driver's license and ask for an appointment. They will not answer the phone during covid testing times. They set up an appointment for a telephone telehealth visit in which they ask a thorough set of questions. They'll then set up a time for a covid test, telling them your car make, model & color. You pull in to the driveway and park in the allotted parking spaces. A tech comes to the car, verifies your identity, does the nasal swab and comes back in 15 minutes with the results. Insurance pays it if they're going to, or you pay for it if insurance doesn't. It's a slick operation. I'm glad they exist. I'm very unhappy that Adventhealth or its doctors, the Franklin County Health Department, the Olathe Medical Health System, the HCA Healthcare system, etc won't provide these services. I'm VERY glad that 1st Point does! Thank you!
