Diagnostic Testing

The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new virus of global health significance caused by infection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 is thought to spread from person-to-person in close contact through respiratory droplets. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. COVID-19 testing can help put an end to the pandemic by identifying those who are spreading the disease without symptoms.

Test samples are collected via the anterior nares. This is a non-invasive collection method designed to limit patient discomfort and minimize exposure to healthcare providers. Per patient request, we also offer collection via an oral swab.

We’re ensuring patients and providers have greater access to accurate testing to promote earlier diagnosis and help limit the spread of infection. We work with LabCorp and other labs to provide timely results and ensure no single lab is overwhelmed. Test results are generally reported in 24 hours on average from when the lab receives the test kit.

With our COVID-19 drive-thru testing, we now offer single registration for everyone in your party. Register once and bring your entire family!

I just want to say how amazing the COVID testing center is here with a dedicated help line. We took our test needed for travel at the San Tan Valley location which was efficient, easy and only took 15 min for whole process. We had to take this test in order to travel 72 hrs before we departed which meant we needed our test no later than 60hrs prior to apply for ED cards. When we got closer to that deadline we called their COVID line and spoke to Ashley Smith who spent the whole night helping us tracking down the results while calming our worries! She actually even called us back when my husband results came in around 55 hrs and emailed us letters that we were waiting for the results in case. My test took more like 62 hrs which had me in a panic but she continued to email me all nite until I received them! If we had went anywhere else we would haven’t had this level of communication and service !!

Our whole family received our covid testing at the Rio and MCC site. Everyone that we came in contact with at the site and over the phone is exceptionally calm and knowledgeable. There was zero impatience or any lack of professional and compassionate composure on the part of anyone that we dealt with, which was six or maybe more people over a period of 3 different testing experiences. I highly recommend the work being conducted through this provider.

FAQs

Questions? We've got you.

No, you do not have to have any symptoms to be tested. We want every member of our community to be tested.

No, there are no special requirements to be tested. You can get tested even if you have not left the state in years.

Nothing. If you have insurance the test and e-visit will be 100% free. This means no copay, deductible, cost share, balance bill or any other types of charges.
 

Our daily cut off time is 6:00PM. All specimens received prior to that time are then sent to labs for processing. You can expect results 3 to 5 days after taking the test.

This is absolutely incorrect, there is not a shortage of supplies that limits the ability for providers offices to collect samples for Coronavirus testing. Early on in the pandemic there were issues with the test that the CDC had developed. However, once commercial laboratories such as LabCorp and Sonora Quest started offering testing this issue was resolved. There is a shortage of the standard test collection kit that would normally be used. However, this should not stop any office from being able to collect the samples for testing. As the FDA and each lab have issued criteria on the types of swabs that can be used. In fact, you will find the required swabs in every OBGYN and PCP office in America.
 
Yes, we will do everything we can to support you. We will ensure that you get a repeat test as soon as needed to see when the infection has cleared.
 
Molecular PCR tests are used to directly detect the presence of the virus, rather than the presence of the body’s immune response, or antibodies. By detecting viral RNA, which will be present in the body before antibodies form, the molecular PCR tests can tell whether someone has the virus very early on and whether they are infectious. An antibody test tells us what proportion of the population has been infected. It won’t tell you who is infected, because the antibodies are generated after a week or two, after which time the virus should have been cleared from the system. But it tells you who has been infected and who is likely to be immune to the virus.
 
Antibody testing measures the body’s immune response to an infection and can provide insights into an individual’s prior exposure to COVID-19 and may indicate a prior infection which may be resolved or is still resolving, and/or protection against re-infection (“protective immunity”). According to a recent white paper summary issued by the American Clinical Laboratory Association (ACLA), when used appropriately, antibody testing may help determine the number of individuals who have been infected with SARS-CoV-2. By supporting screening for individuals using serology, healthcare professionals can provide a more detailed assessment regarding the true rate of infection and gain a better understanding of the case fatality rate to help inform public health strategies. Serologic testing also potentially could be used to support future vaccine development and contact tracing (the process of identification of persons who may have come into contact with an infected person and subsequent collection of further information about these contacts) to stop the spread of the infection in the community.
 
In medical diagnosis, test sensitivity is the ability of a test to correctly identify those with the disease (true positive rate), whereas test specificity is the ability of the test to correctly identify those without the disease (true negative rate).
 

There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. The CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including:

  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then immediately throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
  • CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19. Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
  • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

Reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death for confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure and include:

  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath

Wearing a face mask is certainly not an iron-clad guarantee that you won’t get sick—viruses can also transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can penetrate masks. However, masks are effective at capturing droplets, which is a main transmission route of coronavirus, and some studies have estimated a roughly fivefold protection versus no barrier alone (although others have found lower levels of effectiveness).

If you are likely to be in close contact with someone infected, a mask cuts the chance of the disease being passed on. If you’re showing symptoms of coronavirus, or have been diagnosed, wearing a mask can also protect others. So, masks are crucial for the health and social care workers looking after patients and are also recommended for family members who need to care for someone who is ill—ideally, both the patient and care giver should have a mask.

The number of cases of COVID-19 being reported in the United States is rising due to increased laboratory testing and reporting across the country. The growing number of cases in part reflects the rapid spread of COVID-19 as many U.S. states and territories experience community spread. More detailed and accurate data will allow us to better understand and track the size and scope of the outbreak and strengthen prevention and response efforts.
 
If you are at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19, you should: stock up on supplies; take everyday precautions to keep space between yourself and others; when you go out in public, keep away from others who are sick; limit close contact and wash your hands often; and avoid crowds, cruise travel, and non-essential travel. If there is an outbreak in your community, stay home as much as possible. Watch for symptoms and emergency signs. If you get sick, stay home and call your doctor.
