Testing FAQs

What can I expect during my visit?

We offer curbside testing, where you will be tested for COVID-19 in the comfort of your car. In order to process your test with the lab company, and to track your results, we must register information about you into an electronic medical records system. You will be required to complete a registration form for each individual who will be tested. A swab sample will be taken from your nose and will be sent to a lab company for testing. Your results will be returned within 48-72 hours of testing. You can access your test results by clicking here.

Will My Insurance Cover the Cost of the Test? What If I Don’t Have Insurance?

You are required to provide active insurance and government issued Photo ID. If you are uninsured or your insurance is inactive you are considered self pay and will have to pay for services at the time of service. If you do not have an active government issued photo ID we will not be able to perform testing.

Providing insurance does not guarantee payment from the insurance company and some patients will accrue out of pocket testing. Please check with your insurance company prior to testing to determine your possible responsibility. If you accrue a balance for testing payment is due within 30 days of receipt.

Self pay pricing is available by calling the office or speaking with our technician at the testing site.

REGARDLESS OF YOUR INSURANCE STATUS, OR YOUR INSURANCE TYPE, YOU WILL NOT INCUR ANY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE FOR YOUR VISIT OR FOR THE TEST. PLEASE NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT YOU MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME, OR ALL, OF THE COST FOR TESTING IF YOU ATTEMPT TO TEST MULTIPLE TIMES.

Will I Be Required to See a Doctor?

You will have a short visit with a nurse practitioner or medical doctor to discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing, any exposure you may have had and any other reason for testing. In addition, a medical assistant will record your temperature using an infrared thermometer and will also take heart rate and oxygen readings using a pulse oximeter. Additional evaluation may occur, depending on your health status.

A qualified medical assistant will then provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to effectively perform a nasopharyngeal swab. A small swab must be inserted into your nose for a few seconds in order to secure the needed sample. In partnership with Ipsum Diagnostics, DC Pulmonary Medicine will order a molecular-based RT-PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test on your nasopharyngeal swab. You can expect your results in 2-3 business days.

How Long Will My Visit Take?

Your visit may take more than one hour. Please allow for at least an hour for your visit, although wait times will vary based on traffic volume.

How Do I Access Test Results?

You can access your test results by accessing the Ipsum Patient Portal here. You will receive instructions on how to access your test results from the Ipsum Diagnostics Web Portal in the discharge instructions you will receive at the testing site. Very important to keep your discharge paper as it contains your test ID number to locate your results.

Interpreting your Ipsum Diagnostics test results can be confusing. Please note that, if your lab report informs you that your test results were “abnormal” and/or if your report states that the value is “detected,” then you have tested positive for the virus.
