Test for Active Infection: If you suspect that you may have COVID-19 or currently have symptoms and would like to get a test, please schedule a Virtual Visit and talk with one of our Marque Medical Providers to get a test order. The medical provider will evaluate current symptoms, assess your exposure risk, and answer any questions you have. Copays and deductibles will apply to virtual visits. Virtual visits are quick and available 7 days a week. Once you have a test order, you may go to a Marque Urgent Care clinic during testing hours.

We need your help in determining if your symptoms are COVID-19 related, and if now is the best time to get tested.

If you currently have symptoms of COVID-19 for more than 3 days, we advise to get either a rapid COVID-19 PCR or Antigen test with same-day results, or a PCR COVID-19 test that is sent to a third-party lab. If you want to use your health insurance to cover testing, you will need to ask for a COVID test that is sent to the lab. Lab-sent results are typically back within 2-5 days, depending on outside lab volume. We will call you with results when they come back from the lab.

If you have had close contact with a COVID-19 infected person, we recommend the following:

If your exposure was less than 3 days ago:

Go home and quarantine until the virus can be accurately detected on a
COVID-19 test, usually between 3-5 days after exposure. Testing too
soon may lead to false negative test results regardless of the testing
method, and may cause you to infect others.

If symptoms develop, it’s recommended to get a COVID-19 test. Either a
rapid PCR or rapid Antigen test, or a lab send-out PCR test.

If you do not develop symptoms 3-5 days after an exposure, but you still want to make sure you are not infected, it is recommended to get a COVID test. Either a rapid PCR or rapid Antigen test, or a lab send-out PCR test .OR You may test now, though we recommend you repeat a test after 5 days of post-exposure for the most accurate results.

Antibody Testing for Previous Infection: You do not need a Marque Medical Provider order to get an antibody test.

2. If you have had close contact with a COVID-19 infected person, we recommend the following:
   • If your exposure was less than 3 days ago:
     • Go home and quarantine until the virus can be accurately detected on a COVID-19 test, usually between 3-5 days after exposure. Testing too soon may lead to false negative test results regardless of the testing.
     • If symptoms develop, it’s recommended to get a COVID-19 test. Either a rapid PCR or rapid Antigen test, or a lab send-out PCR test.
     • If you do not develop symptoms 3-5 days after an exposure, but you still want to make sure you are not infected, it is recommended to get a COVID test. Either a rapid PCR or rapid Antigen test, or a lab send-out PCR test.
     • OR You may test now, though we recommend you repeat a test after 5 days of post-exposure for the most accurate results.

Yes, you can be tested for COVID-19 even if you are not experiencing any current symptoms. It is based on the clinical findings and assessment by the Marque Medical Provider.

Yes. We offer two on-site rapid tests. To get a referral for a rapid test, complete a Virtual Visit, or come to a Marque Urgent Care clinic during posted testing hours for an evaluation and a test if deemed necessary.

• Rapid Molecular (RT-PCR/NAAT): Same-day results. $215 per test and not submitted to insurance.
• Rapid Antigen: Same-day results. $120 per test and not submitted to insurance.

Molecular (RT-PCR) lab-sent: Administered Anterior Nares 

Antigen: Administered Anterior Nares

Serum Antibody IgM/IgG (Blood Test): Lab-sent is a blood draw.

You can become infected by coming into close contact with a person who has COVID-19. COVID-19 is primarily spread from person to person. You can become infected from respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. You may also be able to get it by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, and then by touching your mouth, eyes or nose.

• Frequently wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not present.
• Avoid touching your face, mouth, eyes, and nose.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces.
• Wear a cloth face covering when you’re unable to properly physically distance yourself from others (6 feet)

Patients with COVID-19 have had mild to severe symptoms of fever, cough, or shortness of breath — similar to the flu. They’ve also experienced chills or shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, and loss of sense of smell or taste. While information so far indicates that most cases are mild, symptoms appear to be more severe in the elderly and people with chronic conditions.

• Are 65 or older
• Live in a long-term care facility
• Have an ongoing serious health condition, such as:
• Lung disease or asthma
• Heart conditions
• High blood pressure
• Severe obesity
• Diabetes
• Kidney or liver disease
• A weakened immune system
• Cancer treatment
• Smoke or vape

Molecular RT- PCR (diagnostic test for current infection): This test will detect if you are actively infected with the COVID-19 virus.

Serum Antibody IgM/IgG (blood test for previous infection): This test will detect if you have had prior exposure to COVID-19 and have built an antibody for the virus. For most viral illnesses, a positive antibody means prior exposure to a virus and some degree of immunity to future infection.

Yes. We offer antibody testing at all Marque facilities. You do not need an appointment or referral from a Medical provider. We do not bill insurance for antibody testing. There are two types of antibody testing.

• On-site Rapid Serum IgM/IgG*: Finger stick, 5-15 minute processing time with immediateresults reporting. Tests are $50. *FDA Authorized under EUA. Biohit SARS-Cov 2 IgM/IgG Antibody Test
• Lab-Sent Serum IgM/IgG: Blood draw, 1-5 days reporting of results depending on lab volume.Tests are $120.

Requirements vary by destination. It is your responsibility to select the correct test type for your destination and to get tested at the proper time to get valid results. If you need to get a COVID-19 test for traveling purposes, a test referral is not required. Please fill out the COVID-19 Questionnaire for Travel and proceed to a Marque Urgent Care clinic during clinic testing hours.
