Which Test Should I Get If I Do Not Have Any COVID-19 Symptoms?
ClearChoiceMD Urgent Care recommends PCR testing for all asymptomatic patients because of the test’s higher accuracy.
While we offer rapid antigen testing, it is important to understand that this test is less sensitive and may produce a false negative.
Asymptomatic patients can still request the rapid antigen test, but our providers may recommend a subsequent PCR test to confirm the rapid antigen results.
If you do not have symptoms, it is best to wait at least five days after your exposure to get tested. If you get tested too soon, the PCR test may not be able to detect the virus.
Our top priority is the health and safety of our patients, communities, and teams. Rest assured, we take extra safety measures to ensure all patients seeking urgent care services for non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries can be safely cared for at any ClearChoiceMD location.
COVID Testing Costs and Insurance Coverage
We provide straightforward pricing that varies based on insurance coverage, out-of-pocket payments, and the type of test selected. Patients can discuss available options with staff at check-in.
When to Get Tested for COVID-19
Testing is appropriate when symptoms develop, after potential exposure, or when required by schools, employers, or travel guidelines. Tests may also be used to help guide treatment decisions when patients come in for services like cough and cold treatment or urgent care treatment for fevers.
Current CDC recommendations advise waiting five days after exposure if you feel well, as testing too early may not detect viral levels yet. You should consider getting tested:
- After direct or suspected exposure
- When experiencing new COVID symptoms
- Before trips requiring travel testing
- When workplace or school rules request documentation
What to Expect During Your COVID Test
At ClearChoiceMD, your visit begins with a short check-in, followed by an evaluation from a provider who will discuss your symptoms, exposure history, and testing needs. Our staff members use a gentle technique for specimen collection, keeping patient comfort in mind. Testing is quick, and most patients are in and out within a short window of time.
Families visiting with children can also count on age-appropriate support through our pediatric urgent care services, where providers are trained to help kids feel at ease during the testing process.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) FAQs
What is coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)?
COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is a respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is very contagious and spreads quickly from person to person.
How does COVID-19 spread?
The virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets released when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. It can also spread through close contact or contaminated surfaces.
What are the symptoms of COVID-19?
Common signs include fever, cough, fatigue, congestion, sore throat, or loss of taste or smell. Symptoms vary widely from person to person.
What is the difference between PCR and rapid testing?
PCR testing detects genetic material from the virus, offering high sensitivity. Rapid tests detect viral proteins and return quicker results.
