[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my pediatrician office, if my kid get tested today morning/afternoon, the result won't be available till next day online. That means, kid has to be picked up early today and no school tomorrow

People on this forum keep talking about same day pcr testing, does that means the result will be in today if I have my kid get tested today in the morning/afternoon? Where are those places in montgomery county? Covered by insurance? I see some places charge me $250 out of pocket and I can get result in an hour. But, that is really expensive.

And, what happens if the negative result is announced after school hours (like 3:15pm or in the evening), will all kids/parents in the class get notified in time on the same day and be able to go to school tomorrow?

We’ve gone to PM pediatrics for same days tests but it’s not as “easy” as some would lead you to believe.  You need to have a virtual visit first and then the appointment time needs to be within a certain window to actually get same day results- maybe 12-2pm?  Our insurance has always covered it but we weren’t sure that would be the case at first.  It is expensive otherwise.[/quote]
