Our rapid COVID-19 test quickly detects active, contagious virus cells. We often pair it with the PCR test, which finds virus DNA or RNA but doesn’t always show if the virus is active. Using both tests together helps us create the best treatment plan for each patient.

PCR tests are highly accurate in detecting COVID-19 by identifying the virus's genetic material, making them the gold standard, especially for individuals with symptoms or when confirmation is needed. Rapid antigen tests offer faster results but may be less reliable, particularly in asymptomatic individuals. At UrgiClinic Urgent Care, we offer both PCR and rapid antigen tests, providing flexibility and reliable results for anyone needing a COVID test in Bridgeview, IL.
Most insurance plans cover COVID-19 testing when it's medically necessary due to symptoms or exposure, but coverage may vary for tests required for travel or events, so it's important to check with your provider. UrgiClinic Urgent Care accepts a wide range of insurance plans and offers competitive self-pay options for those without coverage. Our staff is available to help verify your insurance before testing, ensuring a smooth process with no billing surprises.
PCR test results typically take 1-3 days, depending on lab processing time, while rapid antigen tests provide results within 15-30 minutes. PCR tests are highly accurate, making them ideal for precise diagnoses, while rapid antigen tests offer quick results, perfect for those needing immediate answers for work, travel, or events. UrgiClinic Urgent Care offers both testing options, ensuring you get timely results based on your needs.
