Farview Ave., Suite 200, Hudson.<br \/>\nFacilities are open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.<br \/>\nTests will be administered to those who display symptoms or have been exposed to COVID-19, the company said.<br \/>\nResults will return in three to five days. Patients in New York can get results by registering for an account at www.mybostonheart.com. <!--more--><br \/>\nTesting is covered in full for patients that carry insurance as part of the CARES Act. For self-pay patients, testing costs $150 for the molecular (PCR) test and $100 for the antibody test, in addition to a charge for the base visit.<br \/>\nWellNow takes most insurance, including Medicare, Medicaid, Fidelis and Veterans Affairs TriWest. A number of insurers have waived cost-sharing for COVID-19 diagnostic testing.<br \/>\n\u201cWe continue to closely monitor COVID-19 developments in partnership with our local and state health departments and the Centers for Disease and Prevention Control (CDC), and will bring this testing to all our communities over time,\u201d said a company statement.<br \/>\nThe number of times a person can be tested will be determined by a WellNow provider. After an evaluation, the decision will be based on symptoms and their duration. Certain essential-services personnel may need to be tested more than once, the company said.<br \/>\nIndividuals must remain in their car to be screened, then will be provided a mask and brought directly into a private patient room for further evaluation and testing, according to the company.<br \/>\n\u201cPatients who are experiencing any non-life-threatening injury or illness are welcome. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, our WellNow teams can assess your condition and help determine the necessary next steps,\u201d the statement said. \u201cRest assured that we are keeping all of our facilities safe and sanitary by following all guidelines from the CDC and local health departments.<br \/>\nThose include reinforced disinfecting processes across all rooms, tables, chairs, computers, door handles and surfaces with EPA-registered cleaning products. Rearranged waiting rooms that adhere to social distancing practices and effectively manage waiting room capacities and the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) for staff as well as patients in need. All symptomatic patients will be provided with a face mask.<br \/>\nExpanded telehealth services with WellNow Virtual Medical will be provided to ensure providers are available for those who need or prefer to receive care from home, the company said.<br \/>\n\u201cBringing both types of COVID-19 testing to our communities in the Capital Region is a top priority right now,\u201d said WellNow Urgent Care President John Radford. \u201cAs New York prepares to reopen, providing all our communities with answers to their COVID-19 questions is as much our responsibility as is making sure all our centers remain a safe and welcoming place for all urgent care needs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first publicly announced coronavirus antibody testing that\u2019s open to the general public is coming to the Capital Region.
