Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test

Oklahoma rates for HCPCS 87811

A sample from the nose or throat is tested with a rapid immunoassay kit that produces a visible result, similar to a home test but read and reported by a laboratory or clinician, to check for current infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. Results are typically available much faster than tests that require sending the sample to an outside lab for genetic analysis.
