COVID-19 Testing Turnaround Time
- It takes 2-7 days to receive test results.
- We encourage you to enroll in the MedStar Health Patient Portal, so you have access to your results as soon as they become available.
- It is very important to remain in quarantine until you receive your results.
- Most patients who meet COVID-19 testing criteria will be offered a rapid point of care test.
- Not everyone with symptoms requires or is able to receive testing. Testing decisions are based on MedStar Health policies, and CDC and local health department guidelines.
You don’t have to wait for an appointment to see a doctor! MedStar Health Urgent Care offers convenient care with extended hours on a walk-in basis. We’re open on evenings, weekends and most holidays. Just walk in or save your spot in line with online check-in.
We are more than a walk-in clinic. Our team of providers diagnoses and treats non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries for patients of all ages. We have X-ray services and laboratory testing available on-site for common illnesses (strep, mono, influenza, urinary infection, and pregnancy). If your condition needs further testing such as blood tests or cultures, we will have most results in 48-72 hours. Some advanced testing for serious illnesses may require a referral to a nearby hospital’s emergency department.
Our Northern Virginia location, in Bradlee Shopping Center, is centrally located to I-395, Old Town Alexandria and the Pentagon. We are convenient to shopping and offer free parking. King Street Metro Station is just over two miles away — from there, take a quick 15-minute bus ride or an Uber ride to our center.
