Recent COVID-19 Testing Reviews (20)

I live out of town and needed a rapid covid test. They were open Sunday and able to take me. The phone call initially left me wondering, three girl who answered the phone did not seem friendly. When I got there everyone was super nice and I was taken care of quickly. My test was negative😊

It was incredible! I was so nervous for my 4 year old to have a covid test but his nurse (Janette) was fabulous. She even had a popsicle for him after the test. We will certainly be back!!

- Verified patient on 9/4

Given that the wait time was unusually long due to covid issues, I felt very grateful to have the service available in Picayune to get covid testing so easily. Thank you to the staff and doctors who has been dealing with this pandemic for such a long time.

Very friendly and we’re so good with my 6-year old. They pretended to give her stuffed animal a covid test to make her feel more comfortable before she got hers.

I came In cause i am sick but had to pay $50 for covid test that was negative and then told it's 60 to 70 percent accurate when I knew it was a cold I had then she refused to give me a steroid shot. If the test is not that accurate then don't offer them or make us pay for them. We go to the doctor to feel better not to get changed for all your testing and you tell me to buy over the counter medication if I would have known all this I would have went somewhere else and felt like they wanted to make me well not make me pay for covid , flu and office visit and tell me to buy over the counter medicine.

I love this urgent care it’s the best! Took a covid test with only a 15 minute wait after test but went in for a sinus infection . Made me feel better to know . Dr is always amazing and they understand my nausea problem due to sinus issues ! I love them !

I needed a rapid Covid test after exposure. It was quick. The staff were friendly and supportive.

- Verified patient on 10/6

Need more staff. Should have at least a practitioner, front desk person, and nurse. Using the front desk person to conduct admin and then do vitals, and help with running labs is not efficient. Using the NP to see patients and helping with labs is not efficient. A nurse should be doing vitals, running labs, conducting Covid test, etc. The staff did a great job and were very professional. They are just stretched too thin. The official “check-in” time is not the same as the “arrival” time. We sat in the waiting room for over an hour before our official “check-in” time.

- Verified patient on 6/5

All of the ladies are polite, professional and such a joy to meet. My Covid test travel needs were handled efficiently and with care.

This was the second time bringing my daughter for the rapid covid test. No matter how busy they are the staff is always super nice and professional!

- Verified patient on 2/15

The wait was long but understandable. We were there for a Covid test, as were several people ahead of us. The receptionist out front (Tonya) was very sweet and helpful. The nurse practitioner that I saw was really nice and outgoing. She did a very good job and gave me some tips on what to get for my knee while I am awaiting a partial replacement. I think her name was K Coggins. At least she was the one that filled out the paperwork. I will recommend urgent team to my friends.

- Verified patient on 12/20

I had a Covid test and it didn’t even hurt. The nurse did great!

- Verified patient on 8/3

Very friendly , professional, and educated me on the COVID testing I will use them again

- Verified patient on 2/5

Was out of town and look all over to get a Covid test, they made it easy and simple and didn’t have to get out my car!

- Verified patient on 7/21

The only thing I didn’t like when a nurse told me she was going to give a COVID test and flu.I know didn’t have COVID it have do with my chest and throat and face feeling it swelling up. Why do they think you have COVID everytime you sick. I have COVID last year I know I didn’t have it this time . I know my body. Thank you !!!!!

Pace 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 Pace?

    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 Pace?

    COVID testing is available for free under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which includes testing for those without health insurance. Check with your Pace-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 Pace?

    COVID testing is available at many outlets near Pace 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 Pace?

    Rapid testing—both PCR (molecular) and antigen tests—is offered through many Pace-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 Pace?

    Same-day and next day appointments for COVID testing in Pace 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 Pace?

    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 Pace?

    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.
