This molecular test uses the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect the genetic material of the viruses causing COVID-19 and influenza A and B. It is the most accurate within 5 days of symptom onset.
This test is particularly handy during the virus season, when it’s hard to tell the root cause of various upper respiratory symptoms.
PCR tests are considered the gold standard for diagnostic testing. They are highly sensitive and specific, providing accurate results whether you do or don’t have symptoms.
It’s the same type of test that hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and urgent care centers use to diagnose patients.
Samples from this test are sent to a laboratory for processing and analysis.
If your results come back positive, a Rume Health provider will reach out to you to create a treatment plan.
If you test positive for Covid specifically, your plan may include a prescription for Paxlovid or something similar.
These treatment plans are covered by the test’s price and do not involve any additional charges on your part!
