How is the test performed? What does it require?
Our patients describe testing at Rume as fast, easy, and convenient! Most of our tests require either a cheek, nasal swab, or throat. A small number of tests require blood from a finger prick.
What happens if I miss my appointment?
Not a problem. If you’ve already paid for your test, but you missed your appointment time–for any reason–you can still get tested. Simply show up to the testing site when you can and we’ll be ready to check you in and get you tested!
