Frequently asked questions
Is there a cost for COVID-19 testing?
There is no cost to those experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, or with recent exposure to someone confirmed positive for the virus. Poplar Healthcare will bill the patient’s insurance for the cost of the test, or the government uninsured program for those without health insurance.

Travel testing is available for $100 per test.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are available in approximately 24-48 hours from the time the specimens are received in the lab. Each individual will be notified, via email, when results are available. The email will include simple instructions on how to retrieve the result.
Does Poplar Healthcare report test results to public health authorities?
Yes. We will report all COVID-19 results, both positive and negative, to the appropriate public health agency.
Do you perform the “deep” swab in the drive thru?
We almost exclusively use nasal swabs, and an anterior nares specimen collection in our drive-thru, which only requires the swab to enter approximately 1 cm or 1/2 inch into the nostril. That means no “deep” swab for COVID-19 testing. However, we can perform a nasopharyngeal specimen collection upon request.
