How much does COVID testing cost?

COVID testing can be free in many circumstances. As part of their response to the epidemic, many North Carolina health departments continue to provide free testing to community citizens. In some situations, commercially insured patients, as well as those on Medicare or Medicaid, may be able to get testing for free or for a small office visit fee. COVID tests can cost anything from $50 to $150 each test for cash-paying individuals or those who require speedy answers in under an hour. It's best to call your doctor before getting tested so you can get a better idea of how much the test will cost.

Where can I get free COVID testing?

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which covers testing for people without health insurance, makes COVID testing free nationwide. Check with your local North Carolina health department for details since they are usually an excellent source of free COVID tests, or can at least lead you in the proper way. You can also ask your health care practitioner for a recommendation for a free COVID test location.

Where can I get COVID testing in North Carolina?

COVID testing is available at many outlets near North Carolina 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.

The scheduling process was so easy and being about to fill out paper work ahead of time was very helpful. Everyone was so friendly and apologetic for the wait as they were busy at our appointment time. Our appointment was for a school physical for my child and they were very good with him.

One of the best urgent care in Charlotte. Staff was very friendly and doctor never was in rush. Doctor spent plenty of time with me to explain my condition, discussed treatment plan and called me 3 days later to check on me. This never happens anymore in modern medicine.
