PCR COVID-19 Testing at FirstCall Medical Center
How does PCR COVID-19 Testing at FirstCall Medical Center compare to other tests?
We’ve spent the time, money and effort to build our own labs to eliminate the middleman and 3rd party labs that extend testing processes. Since our provider team has the resources to test, analyze, and return lab-results all patients can get a same-day test from the comfort of their car, without the risk on going into a facility. We now bring you the very best drive-thru COVID-19 testing experience and a same day PCR result. PCR testing is available at both Merriweather Post & Howard County Fairgrounds.
How does drive through COVID-19 testing work?
For increased safety and convenience, patients are asked to remain in their cars while waiting for to be tested. We have continued to improve our Drive Thru processes and can have you in and out in most cases in under 30 minutes. Rapid test results are available the same day. PCR test results are available within 24-48 hours.
Patients that have any questions about COVID-19 and rapid testing should call us directly at 410-730-3399.
