Convenient Testing Without Visiting a Traditional Medical Clinic
Feeling Sick? Testing Can Help Find Answers
When you're feeling unwell, understanding what's causing your symptoms is an important first step toward getting appropriate care.
Fever, coughing, sore throat, fatigue, and body aches can occur with several different illnesses. Because symptoms often overlap, testing may help your healthcare provider determine what is causing them.
At UrgentCare2go™, we bring mobile urgent care and available point-of-care testing directly to your home, hotel, or workplace.
What Is Point-of-Care Testing?
Point-of-care testing refers to medical tests performed at or near the location where a patient receives care.
Unlike some traditional laboratory tests that require samples to be sent to another facility, certain point-of-care tests can provide results during the same appointment.
Depending on your symptoms and the provider's assessment, testing may include:
- Flu Testing: Helps identify influenza infections that can cause fever, chills, body aches, and fatigue.
- COVID-19 Testing: Helps determine whether symptoms may be related to a COVID-19 infection.
- Strep Testing: Helps identify group A streptococcal infections in patients experiencing symptoms such as a sore throat or painful swallowing.
- Other On-Site Testing: Additional tests may be available depending on the patient's medical needs.
- Laboratory Services: Blood draws and other laboratory testing may be arranged when medically appropriate.
Not every patient requires testing. Your provider will determine which tests, if any, are appropriate based on your symptoms and medical history.
Why Testing Matters
Many respiratory illnesses share similar symptoms, but they may require different approaches to care.
Testing can help healthcare providers:
- Better understand the possible cause of symptoms.
- Determine whether certain treatments may be appropriate.
- Provide guidance on symptom management.
- Recommend additional testing or follow-up when necessary.
It's important to remember that rapid tests have limitations, and a negative result does not always rule out an infection.
