Covid-19 Testing and Consultation
At Family First Medical Center we’re committed to keeping our patients healthy and providing the best care available.
We are pleased to offer COVID-19 Antibody Testing, also known as Serology Testing, to our patients and community. Through a simple blood draw we can test for specific antibodies produced in response to a COVID-19 infection.
A positive result can:
- Confirm your exposure to COVID-19.
- Help you understand potential exposure risk for your family and others with whom you have had close contact.
- Provide insight into your personal health and safety practices.
This is not a test for active infection. Additionally, at this time it is unclear whether people with a positive result may be less susceptible to future infection. As we learn more about exposure patterns, we can better understand COVID-19 and the ongoing risk to our community.
Important details:
- This test is available for all ages at Family First Medical Center sites throughout our community by appointment only.
- The test does not require fasting.
- The test costs may be fully or partially covered by your insurance provider. If you have any questions about your cost share, please contact your insurance provider.
- While no medical testing is flawless, our rigorous validation process ensures that you will receive the best test currently known to us.
- If you are a healthcare worker, please consider sharing your test result in a secure manner directly with your organization's employee health department.
- You may have a current COVID-19 infection and test negative for antibodies, as it takes time for your body to generate a large enough volume to be detected in this blood test.
