Hello,
We’ve been getting some questions about coronavirus antibody tests versus swab tests. Hopefully this information will help you determine which COVID-19 test is the best option for you and your family.
The swab test is intended for people who have symptoms of the coronavirus. It’s tells you whether or not you are currently positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. The test that we offer is a quick test, which means we can typically provide results in 30 minutes or less. You can call (214) 550-0911 to schedule your test. The cost is covered by insurance or Collin County (for the uninsured).
Antibody testing — also called serology testing — can check for different types of antibodies developed after someone has been exposed to COVID-19. This test is for individuals who do not currently have symptoms but think they may have recovered from the coronavirus already. This test should not be used as the sole basis to diagnose or exclude infection, but it can provide peace of mind if you are wanting to return to work, for example.
Please note that we are taking all precautions to ensure that everyone, especially the most vulnerable, stay well. No germs here, only caring providers!
