Went for a Covid test, was a few min early for my appt they took me right away. Did the test, had me wait 20 min in my car and results were in when I came back in.

Everything went great but I haven't received the results of my covid test. They said I would get it half an hour after I left. Haven't from anyone.

The dr did not have a good bedside manner. She just jumped right into the diagnosis without a physical exam. I get my child tested positive for covid, but she could have told us the news in a better way. Then I was charged a co pay for basically just a covid test.

I was traveling to Montana to care for an elderly family member when I received notification that a person who visited our office the previous week had a positive COVID test. I was very relieved that Urgent Care of Casper had an opening to perform a rapid COVID test.

- Verified patient on 2/25

I'm frankly pissed. And I will never take either of my children there ever!!!! They covid tested her without my consent. Thank you for making very poor choices. Never ever again. The nurse and the Dr were also rude!!!

I went in for a covid test and found out I was negative, which was good, but was told it was a rapid test. Have a daughter that is a nurse and her company is not fond of that type test. My brother 's daughter rapid test was negative but she got a call next day saying positive. Found out you don't send to anyone else so hope mine is correct

Fast and easy covid test

- Verified patient on 11/11

I waited 2 hours for a COVID test had an appointment at 2:30, and wasn’t taken to the room until after3:00. Wasn’t given the test until after 4:00. I was miserable the whole time and there were two chairs and the place for the provider to sit. Very uncomfortable. Fast results was the only good thing

I took my wife in for a Covid test, they told me the test would be $40. I got a bill for $195, my card was charged $95 and I'm thinking when the bill hits my insurance company they will want the $100 Did not need an exam, just a Covid test. Not very upfront about your billing. You won't see me again. Larry Hawkins

The visit was OK, but the information provided by your phone people and the app need some serious work. You said you have rapid covid tests - you did not. The app said I had a different phone number on file, but would not let me go back to investigate.

- Verified patient on 8/28

I didn't see much or have a lot of interaction. I went in for a COVID test. It seemed good from what I saw. I don't have a regular doctor so its nice to have this option!

- Verified patient on 9/15

Best covid test I ever had to have very nice didn't shove the deal up to my brain

- Verified patient on 4/7

Very professional and kind staff. We weren’t able to go into the facility due to COVID testing so I’m unable to rate facility cleanliness.

- Verified patient on 5/31

Was driving through Wyoming and coming down with a cold. As we were going to visit my in-laws (older), thought best to get rapid Covid test. Was able to book online, fill out forms online, and once we arrived, the whole visit took just under 40 minutes. Entire staff quite friendly and efficient. Thanks!

Mountain View COVID Testing & Rapid Testing

Types of COVID Tests

There are two types of coronavirus tests (COVID-19 tests) available, those that can test for a current infection (viral test) and those that can test for a past infection (antibody test).

Viral COVID testing can be done in a few different ways, the most common being nose swabs, but saliva tests are becoming more popular. Some tests are processed out on-site and can provide results in as little as 30 minutes. These are called rapid COVID tests. The majority of tests, on the other hand, are collected at the clinic on-site and then submitted to off-site labs for processing. Results can take up to 2-3 days to arrive.

Antibody testing looks for a past infection and may not reveal if you have an active COVID-19 infection because antibodies can take up to three weeks to form in your body. The presence of COVID antibodies may help to prevent you from becoming infected with the same virus again; but, because the clinical understanding of COVID-19 is still developing, it's unclear how long that protection will continue.

Who should get tested for current infection

The CDC currently defines four instances where COVID testing is recommended:

If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 including fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea.
If you have been in close contact with someone with confirmed COVID-19. Close contact is defined as within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period. If you have been vaccinated, or tested positive in the past 3 months and not experiencing symptoms, you do not need to be tested.
If you are unvaccinated and participated in high-risk activities where distancing is not an option. This could include travel, large social or mass gatherings, crowded indoor settings, etc.
If you have been referred to get a COVID test by your healthcare provider or local health department.

How is testing done for COVID-19?

Most COVID tests are collected by a nasal swab. A member of the medical team puts a swab inside your nose for a few seconds on each side to collect the sample. After that, the samples are packaged according to CDC guidelines and tested on-site or transported to a facility for testing. The lab will test samples for the presence of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID infection and either your care provider or the lab will notify you with the results as soon as they are available.

PCR vs Antigen Testing

Viral COVID tests are available as molecular and antigen tests. The molecular test, also known as a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, usually delivers results within a few days since most of these tests are sent to offsite labs for analysis. The average turnaround time for PCR test results is 48 hours, but in some instances may be significantly longer due to backlogs related to insufficient lab volume and capacity. Antigen tests are also known as rapid tests and have an average turnaround time of between 15 to 30 minutes.

Both PCR and rapid COVID tests can be used to test people exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, those who were close contacts to COVID-19, and those without COVID-19 symptoms who live or work in a high-risk setting (such as a nursing facility); or those individuals who are identified as part of outbreak detection and response. The rapid COVID test is also recommended for the screening of residents or healthcare workers at skilled nursing facilities along with a PCR confirmation, and for repeat screening for the early detection and prevention of outbreaks in congregate settings (such as schools, workplaces, and prisons).

COVID testing is available for free under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which includes testing for those without health insurance. To reduce the risk of facing extra costs related to COVID testing, ask your primary care doctor to recommend a free COVID test site, and confirm there are no charges or fees for the test that are not covered by your insurance plan. Additionally, avoid getting a COVID test at a hospital or free-standing emergency room, as these facilities may charge fees for COVID testing and related services.

Where can I get a rapid COVID test in Mountain View?

Rapid testing—both PCR (molecular) and antigen tests—is offered through many Mountain View-area urgent care centers and physician offices, usually at an additional cost ranging from $50 up to $150 per test. Usually this will allow you to get results back in under an hour, and require advanced booking through the provider. However, if you can wait 24 hours for your results, many labs are turning around send-out lab tests in that time frame, which could save you some money.
How to make an appointment for COVID testing in Mountain View?
Same-day and next day appointments for COVID testing in Mountain View are bookable directly through Solv. Simply browse the list of healthcare providers conducting COVID tests above, find one with a “Book Online” button, and book a time that aligns with your schedule stating “COVID-19 Test” as your reason for visit.
Can I get tested for antibodies if I am sick with COVID-19 Mountain View?

An antibody test for COVID-19 might inform you if you previously had a coronavirus infection. Because it can take between 1–3 weeks after an infection for your body to develop these antibodies, an antibody test during an active infection would not be successful. To see if you are currently infected, you need a viral test.
Do I need a COVID test if I have been vaccinated?
Even if you have been fully vaccinated, if you have been exposed to someone who has COVID-19, experts believe that you should be tested yourself, particularly if you are experiencing cold and flu symptoms commonly aligned with the coronavirus.
How long does COVID testing take?
Getting a COVID test is quick. Most tests are done with a nasal swab, which takes less than a minute to swab both nostrils. Depending on where you get your COVID test, this means you could be in and out of the testing site in as little as 10-15 minutes. During busy times—particularly around holidays—testing sites may be busier than usual and wait times may be longer.
How long does it take to get COVID test results in Mountain View?

Most labs are returning send-out molecular (PCR) COVID test results within 24-48 hours of the test. Some sites take longer, so call and ask if the reason for the test is proof for travel. Rapid COVID tests are processed on-site and are able to deliver results in under an hour, sometimes in as little as 15 min.
Do COVID tests detect the Delta variant and Omicron variant?
Regular COVID tests are able to detect both the Delta variant and Omicron variant in that they can determine whether or not you have the coronavirus. However, they can't tell which variation is involved. That would necessitate genomic sequencing, which is a different process from regular virus testing that not all labs can undertake. Sequencing is uncommon and can cost up to $100 per test. Since the treatment is the same for any variant, it is not clinically useful to an individual patient to know whether the infection was caused by a variant or not.
