COVID-19 Evaluation Available at The Emergency Center

If you were exposed to COVID-19, have symptoms, or have tested positive at home, visit The Emergency Center for evaluation and treatment. Our emergency facilities currently offer COVID-19 testing for patients who present with certain risk factors and symptoms. If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 — like fever, cough, shortness of breath or loss of smell and taste — The Emergency Center team can help you get a quick symptom evaluation and recommended course of action.
Testing is done on symptomatic patients in conjunction with an emergency room visit. COVID-19 testing eligibility will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the physician. The Emergency Center is not a COVID-19 testing center.

Understanding the Cost of COVID-19 Testing

The cost of COVID-19 testing is covered by most major insurances and separate from your ER copay. Patients need to verify with their insurance the specific patient out-of-pocket cost.
As a symptomatic patient, you will be charged an ER visit. Total charges for an ER visit vary depending on the level of patient illness, severity of medical needs, and the resources required to render care.
The Emergency Center has a Cash-Pay rate option designed for uninsured patients. Self-pay rates for The Emergency Center visits start at $500 (which includes all COVID-19 testing). Self-pay rates may increase for special imaging or complex patient services to $900.
Additional tests, such as influenza A and influenza B, X-rays, and other tests not directly related to COVID-19 are processed differently as determined by the insurance carriers.
