CompuNet Introduces Self-ordered COVID-19 PCR and Antigen Testing
Option to purchase COVID-19 testing without a doctor’s order available in select locations
February 15, 2021: CompuNet Clinical Laboratories has introduced COVID-19 PCR and Antigen testing, without the need for a doctor’s order, at select locations in Dayton and Cincinnati. Both tests are available to adults and minors (with guardian permission).
Tests without a doctor’s order are part of CompuNet’s “direct access” service, CompuNet Direct. Individuals purchase tests directly with a credit card and results are sent to the patient. The price for CompuNet Direct’s COVID-19 Antigen test is $60 and the PCR test is $100.
Direct access to COVID-19 tests provides an opportunity for an individual who either does not have a physician or prefers the convenience of ordering their COVID-19 lab tests for themselves,” says Teresa Williams, CompuNet COO. “Families are beginning to travel again and there is an interest in COVID-19 testing that is reasonably priced and provides fast results. We can provide them with the COVID results required for travel documentation or simply for peace of mind as they plan their travel.”
COVID-19 PCR testing is considered the “gold standard” for accuracy and is recommended for individuals who have COVID symptoms or who believe they have been exposed. COVID PCR testing is highly recommended for those who need travel documentation. Results will be available within the 72-hour required travel window.
COVID-19 Antigen testing is typically recommended for an individual who is within 5 days of having COVID-19 symptoms and the test provides rapid results within a couple hours.
Patients can order their own COVID-19 testing at the following locations. Appointments are required. When patients arrive at the testing site, they should remain in their car and call the phone number on the sign.
