COVID-19 RAPID PCR TEST (RT-PCR)The Rapid RT-PCR COVID-19 Test is a molecular in vitro diagnostic test utilizing end point reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and lateral flow technologies for the qualitative, visual detection of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA. The four steps utilized to perform the test are lysis of the virus, reverse transcription of viral RNA to cDNA, nucleic acid amplification, and detection.

Test results are for the identification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. The SARS-CoV-2 RNA is generally detectable in upper respiratory specimens during the acute phase of infection. The Rapid RT-PCR COVID-19 Test has been released under FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 (the virus responsible for COVID-19 infection), and can be used in applications that require molecular/ RT-PCR testing.

Many travel restrictions require a RT-PRC, molecular, or NAAT test be conducted prior to arrival at the destination. The Rapid RT-PCR COVID-19 test satisfies most travel requirements; however, it is the purchaser's responsibility to verify the test will be accepted for travel prior to purchase.

COVID-19 ANTIGEN (RAPID) TEST

Rapid tests are less accurate than the PCR test and are best used for those who are having symptoms of COVID-19. The advantage of this test is a quick  turnaround time of only 2 hours.

The test is often done in your car after a telemedicine evaluation  with a clinic provider.

If you have symptoms or have been recently exposed (3-5 days prior) you must make a TeleMED appoint first. Call 503-249-9000

If you would like a rapid test, have no symptoms and were not recently exposed you can make your appointment online.

Test results will be posted to your online portal as soon as they are available.

COVID-19 ANTIBODY TESTING:The Antibody test is for those who are not symptomatic but have had symptoms in the past. A positive result means you were likely infected by the COVID-19 virus. Having antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19 provides protection from getting infected with the virus again. But it is not known how much protection the antibodies provide or how long this protection may last. Please make your Antibody test appointment online.

Test result are available the same day and posted to your online portal.
