PIC Questions
Before you send us your question, please review the most common FAQ's below:
Rapid PCR COVID-19 testing available to all patients; including:
- All patients with COVID-19 symptoms
- All healthcare workers, first responders, and essential workers
- Patients with exposures to COVID-19 (close contact with someone who has COVID-19)
- Exposed patients that live with a family member that is deemed at risk
- If you are not experiencing symptoms, please wait at least 3 days (72 hours) from the time of exposure to be tested. This will provide the most accurate results.

- Patients requiring a test for travel purposes
At Physicians Immediate Care, we will only retest a person that has previously tested positive for COVID-19 at least 6 weeks prior. Based on information on the CDC website, a person who has recovered from COVID-19 may continue to have a positive test result for several weekss, even though they are not spreading COVID-19. If your employer is requesting a retest, please refer to our Return to Work process.
An appointment is recommended for a COVID-19 exam and test but we will also accept walk-ins. For all other urgent care services (i.e., injuries, illnesses, x-rays, physical exams, etc.) patients can reserve their time or walk-in at their convenience.
For a COVID-19 exam and test, please follow the below instructions:
- Reserve your time by visiting the clinic page or the COVID-19 testing location page or you may walk-in at your convenience.
- Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time. Remain outside or in your car, until directed to by a staff member. Please text the clinic to let them know you have arrived. You can do this by replying to the confirmation text you received when you made your appointment.
- Bring your insurance card and a valid ID.
We will always try to bill your insurance first for the COVID-19 physical exam and the COVID-19 test. However, we recommend you contact your insurance carrier for exact pricing because it may vary depending on your plan.
If you decide to self-pay instead of insurance the pricing is below:
Required COVID-19 Physical Exam* – Care Level 1
COVID-19 Test – $75
Positive COVID-19 Telehealth Follow Up Visit (optional) - $85
* The exam is necessary so that our medical provider has a health history and a thorough understanding of the patient's symptoms and possible exposure.
We will test those that need a test prior to travel.
We offer the Abbott ID NOW COVID-19 Molecular PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test for travel purposes. This is a Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT) with results in under 15 minutes. This type of test satisfies most travel requirements, please check with your specific airline carrier. For more information on COVID testing for travel, please check out our blog!
