*Sometimes, because of the staffing challenges that many healthcare facilities are facing these days, we will not be able to open one or both of the Swab Centers. Please check this page on the day you plan to visit the Swab Center in question. It will be updated by 8am daily to say whether each location is open or not. Please use the nearby Urgent Care (which are open 24/7) if your preferred Swab Center is Closed. 
  • Rapid Swabs and PCR Swabs are covered by all insurers (private/Medicaid/Medicare).
  • PCR Swabs are no-charge if you have no insurance.
  • It may be a while before we can swab you when you come in to the Urgent Cares.
  • We are not accepting appointments (at Urgent Care or Swab Centers). Just walk on in. 
  • You may preregister online for just a swab, just to get your information to our staff but it does NOT create an appointment or put you on any kind of waitlist or queue. 
  • We will see you as you come in, subject to our staff being available, which depends on how many other sick (symptomatic) people we are seeing back in our exam rooms. Symptomatic patients who need to be seen by a doctor will take priority over those who are asymptomatic or who do not need to be seen by a doctor. You may preregister online as an urgent care patient to be seen by a doctor. 
  • We are not answering the phones while we are short-staffed. 
  • If you take a rapid test, it is strongly recommended that you also take a confirmatory PCR test. Before taking a PCR test, please use the QR code (shown below) to register. Then you'll get your result texted and/or emailed to you. 
  • ​We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year, at both Urgent Cares. The Swab Centers are open during a surge, from 9am-6pm, Monday to Saturday, subject to swab and staff availability. 
  • If you have a question about anything related to COVID, please email us directly at covid@247uc.com.​
  • If you would like a telemedicine visit with one our doctors, they are available 24/7. They can discuss COVID (or indeed anything else) with you, or manage other problems, as well as call in medications or send you a work/school note. 
Thank you so much for your patience. ​

Our 24/7 urgent care centers (and our 9am-6pm swab centers) are here to assist our communities during a surge.
