FAQ
For patients with insurance: Most insurance plans cover COVID-19 testing. Please contact your insurance carrier for full details on your coverage, as individual plans can vary. Base visit, co-pays, and other necessary service charges may apply.
For patients without insurance coverage: Cash price of COVID-19 testing for patients without insurance, or otherwise paying out of pocket, is $125 in addition to the base visit charge of $130. Any other medical services received, such as X-rays or diagnostic testing, will result in additional charges. Payment is due at the time of service. If you’d prefer to pay in installments, we offer an interest-free “buy now, pay later” option that allows patients to pay their bill over time in four installments.
Tests administered at WellNow centers, by the times below, will return results within 24 - 48 hours.
