FAQ for Capstone Testing
- How much does it cost etc.
Answer: Good question, we are billing patients insurance if they are insured but anything not covered by insurance is written off. No one receiving a COVID test will be charged by our clinic. If anything changes on our end with this I will send an update.
- Does this include all MSBSD staff members and students or just certain individuals?
Answer: All support staff and students in the schools qualify.
- Is this also by appt only or can they just drive up to be tested?
Answer: We prefer appointments, but we will test if they just show up as we can. The appointments will definitely help their wait time.
- Also how about students/staff that are identified as a close contact and want to be tested per public health guidance during quarantine but are asymptomatic? Can they also get this rapid test?
Answer: Students and staff that want to be tested due to exposure have to wait until at least day 7 to be tested unless they are symptomatic sooner, since they have to quarantine for 14 days regardless we would perform a state test for asymptomatic exposures.
- Lastly, if they need a weekend test should they go to the Wasilla location?
Answer: If they need a test on the weekend they should come to the Wasilla location.
