Note on COVID-19: As COVID-19, also known as Coronavirus, continues to spread, NY Allergy and Sinus Centers is committed to the health and safety of our patients and staff. We are constantly monitoring the CDC and WHO websites and taking necessary precautions.
We will be doing in-office Rapid COVID and Influenza A+B testing. Patients will have a quick televisit followed by in-office nasal swab test using Abbot ID NOW testing.
ID NOW™ is approved FDA Emergency Use Authorization and utilizes proven isothermal molecular technology in an intuitive platform, providing the fastest highly sensitive molecular results in the market at 2 to 13 minutes. The use of thermocycling, a series of temperature changes, is
utilized by PCR, a conventional method, to amplify DNA. This heating and cooling process adds to result turn-around time.
- Patients with no symptoms will be swabbed by a provider at one of our testing sites and we will call or text the results.
- Patients who are symptomatic and/or with a recent high-risk exposure, will be asked you to “self-test” and drop off the swab at one of our testing sites and we will call or text the results.
- The consultation and testing are in-network services, covered by insurance. We also
- offer self-pay rates
- d. Rapid COVID and Influenza testing will be done at our 211 CPW and Glendale office
- locations.
We also offer rapid Covid antibody testing for past infection at all of our
locations
