Went in with an ear ache and no voice. Nurse did swab for Covid, flu, and strep nurse practitioner came in and said I had Covid. I left there and did two other test with the same exact test used at the facility and the test were negative. They were ran by nurses as well. I went back to the facility to talk to them about it and the nurse was very defensive and would not give me another test even though I showed her the two negative tests that I just received. This is not good because I’m staying with a family member at a hospital and I was unable to go back due to the fact that I had a Covid diagnosis. I had to get another doctor to retest me so that I could go back. Test was negative so your facility let me walk out of there with a false positive and would not retest. I am not happy. Retested again today still negative.

My daughter had been fighting a sinus infection, and her Dr could not see her quickly, so we chose Children's Urgent Care. Scheduling online is always easy, but on arrival we were told the on site provider was an hour behind. I asked front desk staff if they could text us when they were ready to see us, and we would go eat at Taco Mama a few doors down. We were texted when they were ready, were put into a room, and proceeded to wait another 45 minutes. I looked out the door and found another lady looking for staff because she had been in a room for almost an hour waiting as well. We were told that my daughter still had 4 more patients in front of her before being seen, so the staff agreed to texting us again when closer to being ready as my daughter was getting hungry and her food had not been ready when we were called back. Another 30 minutes or so passed before we were contacted for her to be seen, and my decided to take her, and had to wait additional time in the room. No one can help they only had one provider, but I doubt everyone had an appointment like we did. I am disappointed in how long the wait was even with a scheduled visit. That being said, the front desk staff agreeing to text us when ready was absolutely wonderful and appreciated!

Satsuma Mono Tests

A mono test can be used to identify mononucleosis, which is an infectious viral disease. Mono is caused by several viruses, the most common of which being the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

Mono can afflict persons of any age, although it affects teenagers and young adults the most frequently and visibly. Mono will develop in one out of every four teenagers and adults infected with EBV.

If you have mono symptoms, your doctor may order or perform a mono test for you. Mono symptoms include fever, headache, sore throat, tiredness, rash, and swollen glands in the neck or armpits, which are quite similar to the flu.

Mono tests come in two forms: the monospot test and the EBV antibody test. In the blood, the monospot test searches for specific mono antibodies, whereas the EBV test looks for antibodies specific to EBV. Both tests require a blood sample, which can be taken from a vein in your arm or from your finger. A mono test may be used with other tests, such as a complete blood count or throat culture, to confirm or rule out a mono diagnosis.

Because a tiny needle is used to sample blood from your finger or arm, a mono test takes less than five minutes to conduct. Your blood is extracted into a small tube or vial and tested in minutes to discover if antibodies suggestive of mono are present. A mono test requires no preparation, though it may cause minor side effects like as discomfort or bruising at the injection site, which usually subsides after a few minutes.

If your mono test is positive, your doctor will talk to you about your treatment options. Mono normally goes away on its own after a few weeks, although some people may experience long-term fatigue. Getting enough sleep and drinking enough of water are essential.

Mono Test FAQs

  • How much does a mono test cost Satsuma?

    A mono test's price is determined by a number of factors, including test provider pricing, geographic location, and whether or not your health insurance plan covers the test. To discover more about your benefits and coverage, contact the mono test provider directly.

  • Does insurance cover mono testing?

    Mono testing is covered by many health insurance policies, especially if your doctor determines that it is medically necessary based on your symptoms and current health status. Contact your health insurance provider directly to see if mono testing is covered. Some mono test companies will check your insurance benefits to determine if this test is covered.

  • Who should get tested for mononucleosis Satsuma?

    Anyone experiencing mono symptoms should be tested for the virus to confirm or rule out the diagnosis. Mono symptoms include fever, sore throat, headache, tiredness, rash, and swollen glands in the neck and armpits, which are similar to flu symptoms. Mono can affect everyone, but it affects teenagers and young adults more frequently.

  • How do they test for mono Satsuma?

    Blood is drawn from your fingertip or an arm vein for a mono test. Both methods have a lot in common. The testing provider will pierce your finger with a little needle and draw blood into a small tube or vial during the fingertip test. A little needle will be inserted into your arm to draw blood into a small tube or vial to collect blood from a vein in your arm by the testing provider.

  • How long does a mono test take Satsuma?

    A mono test is reasonably quick, requiring no more than five minutes whether blood is drawn from your fingertip or arm. Mono tests don't normally necessitate any preparation and don't cause any downtime. Even though a mono test only takes a few minutes, your session may last longer if you have to wait your turn. Check the duration of the mono testing and your appointment with the mono testing provider ahead of time.

  • How long does it take to get mono test results?

    Mono test results are often available within five to ten minutes, while some mono test kits can take up to an hour to complete. Contact the mono testing provider for more information on when your mono testing results will be returned. In most situations, your test results will be available the same day you take it.

  • Where should I get a mono test Satsuma?

    Whether blood is obtained from your fingertip or your arm, a mono test takes no more than five minutes. Mono testing usually does not require any preparation and does not result in any downtime. Even though a mono test is only a few minutes long, it can take longer if you have to wait for your turn. Before you go, double-check the duration of the test and your appointment with the mono testing provider.

  • How accurate are mono tests?

    Mono tests have been demonstrated to be trustworthy, with an accuracy rate of 95 to 100 percent. Mono tests that just search for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antibodies, on the other hand, have been shown to produce fewer false negatives than other antibody tests. False-positive findings can arise in patients who have been infected with specific diseases such as HIV, lymphoma, or rubella, because antibodies from these diseases can stay in the bloodstream for up to a year.

  • How can I book a mono test through Solv?

A blood draw is required for this test, which must be done by a certified and experienced medical expert. A mono test may be performed at your house by some healthcare providers, but there are no test kits accessible for self-testing at home.
