COVID-19 Testing Before Procedures
If you have an upcoming surgery or procedure at Ochsner, you may be referred to one of the pre-procedural testing locations below to prepare your medical team. Your results will be made available to your provider and to our infection control team. You will receive your test results within 72 hours.
Urgent Care Testing
COVID-19 testing is available at Urgent Care locations. Please bring your insurance card and state identification card. Urgent Care offers Rapid testing (which
results at time of collection) as well as PCR (that results in 72 hours).
You will receive your test results within 72 hours via the MyOchsner patient portal or by phone. Those who test positive will have the opportunity to participate in Ochsner’s 14-day symptom tracker program designed for COVID-19 patients who do not require hospital care. Participants receive daily text messages to monitor symptoms and can be connected to our 24/7 nurse on-call line for additional support. You may call 1-866-703-7790 or click the button below.
If you are unsure about if or when you should be tested, talk with a provider virtually with Ochsner Anywhere Care for medical advice. Ochsner Anywhere Care cannot place orders for infusions.
Antibody Testing
Antibody testing is available
Antibody testing determines whether you had COVID-19 and now have antibodies against the virus. To receive the antibody test, you must have a physician order.
The cost for the antibody test is $50, and this price does not include the cost of any visit copay that would be incurred. Please contact your insurance provider for covered benefits prior to coming in for testing.
You will receive your test results within 24-48 hours.
