Go to Vaccinefinder.org to see which ARCpoint Labs sites in your area currently have COVID-19 vaccines in stock. You can make an appointment by clicking on the location link.

When you come to your first appointment for your multi-dose vaccine at ARCpoint Labs, you will be given instructions about how to schedule your second appointment at the same ARCpoint location.

The brand of vaccine you receive at ARCpoint Labs is dependent on which brand the state has allocated to each site.  The individual State Departments of Health send vaccine brand and quantity based on what is available at the time of request.

COVID-19 vaccine quantities are still limited at this time, so we recommend that you receive whichever brand is available to you now, to protect yourself and your community.

According to the CDC, extreme adverse effects “are extremely rare.” Most of the common side effects include mild flu-like symptoms, including fever, headache and body aches, but it is important to keep in mind that these symptoms are an indication that your body is building immunity and most people have no symptoms at all.  Extreme reactions such as shortness of breath, severe pain or headache should be reported immediately to your doctor. Report adverse events following receipt of any COVID-19 vaccine to VAERS.

COVID-19 vaccines are considered safe for these conditions, but it is important that you check with your physician if you have a condition that you think might prevent you from getting any vaccine.

For the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, individuals are considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks after the second dose. The Johnson & Johnson/Janssen  vaccine provides maximum vaccination protection 2 weeks after receiving it.  It is important to remember that these vaccines cannot cause COVID-19, but if you are exposed before you are fully vaccinated, you are still at risk for acquiring the virus.  Also, the CDC recommends continuing to wear a mask and social distance if you are around others who are not vaccinated.

Anyone who wants to know if they currently have COVID-19, whether or not they have symptoms.

By taking a swab of respiratory fluid either from the nasal cavity or mouth.

Yes. We have designed a testing protocol that aligns with current CDC guidelines for workplace testing.

No, fasting is not required for this test.

No, but all PCR viral tests collected at ARCpoint Labs locations have been given Emergency Use Authorization through the FDA, which is the highest level of clearance the FDA can grant during the public health emergency.

If you have a positive test result, it is very likely that you have COVID-19. We strongly recommend you review your results with your healthcare provider so that he/she can work with you to determine your best care based on the test results, along with other factors of your medical history, including (but not limited to) any previous symptoms, possible exposure to COVID-19, and the location of places you have recently traveled.

A negative test result means the virus that causes COVID-19 was not detected in your sample.

Depending on what day of the week your sample is collected, you should receive your results within 2-4 days.

Anyone who wants to know if they currently have COVID-19 or FLU A/B because their symptoms are very similar.

This test is exceptionally accurate. Each strain of Flu has been measured against a culture, which is the gold standard for flu detection, and the COVID portion of the test has been measured against PCR.

Anyone who may have been potentially exposed or believes they may currently have COVID-19, whether or not they have symptoms.

By taking a swab of respiratory fluid from the nasal cavity.

This test can be used for random or scheduled testing in workplaces. This test may be appropriate for certain kinds of travel or pre-surgical clearance. Check with your specific destination or performing hospital first to be sure.

No, but the Sofia 2 Device, which makes antigen testing possible, has been given Emergency Use Authorization through the FDA, which is the highest level of clearance the FDA can grant during the public health emergency.

A positive result means you currently have COVID-19. A negative result means you are not currently infected with COVID-19.

This test looks for Antigens, a maker of the virus itself. This makes it extremely unlikely to give false-positive results, but slightly more likely to give false-negative ones when compared to a PCR test.

Depending on how your specific ARCpoint location operates and demand at the time your sample is collected, you may receive your results in 24 hours or less.

This test is best for people who believe they’ve been exposed to COVID-19 or had symptoms in the past (fever, cough, shortness of breath, etc.). You must be free of symptoms for at least 7 days before receiving the test. The test is intended to indicate the presence of COVID-19 antibodies, in order to better inform an individual’s personal decisions about returning to work in a high-risk or customer-facing profession.

NO! This test screens for antibodies, which are a specialized type of immune cell your body produces in response to COVID-19. 

The COVID-19 Antibody Test is a blood test that is designed to detect immune proteins called antibodies, which may indicate that your body has been exposed to COVID-19 (also known as coronavirus or SARS-CoV-2).

When a virus or foreign antigen enters your body, your immune system typically responds by producing specific proteins called antibodies to help fight off the virus. Antibodies can remain in your body for a period of time, potentially protecting you from reinfection in the future. Because the SARS-CoV-2 virus is so new, it is unclear how strong the immune response might be, or how long the antibodies may last in your body.

The results of this test may help identify people who have had an immune response to COVID-19. The testing data will be shared with the health department and CDC, in an effort to assist experts in determining the best response to the pandemic, as well as how to continue protecting the public’s health. 

• Find an ARCpoint Labs location that is offering COVID-19 antibody testing at https://www.arcpointlabs.com/locations/ .
• Schedule your appointment.
• Come in to have your blood drawn at the ARCpoint Labs location.
• ARCpoint Labs will collect the specimen and send it to one of our third-party lab partners certified by CLIA to perform high complexity testing.
• The lab partner will process your test in their facility, following all necessary protocols.
• You should receive your results in 3-5 business days (wait times might be slightly longer due to high demand).
• Consult with your primary care physician or other licensed medical professional for guidance on how to interpret your results.

No.  You must be asymptomatic for at least seven days before taking an antibody test. Testing on symptomatic individuals may lead to unreliable results.

Most lab-based antibody test results will be securely emailed within 3-5 business days after our blood draw. Due to increased demand, turnaround times may vary. We recommend consulting your Primary Care Physician (PCP) or other licensed medical professional to interpret your results.

• Possible discomfort or other complications that can happen during sample collection. 
• Possible incorrect test result (see below for more information). 

• The results, along with other information, can help your healthcare provider make informed recommendations about your care. 
• The results of this test may help limit the spread of COVID-19 to your family and others in your community. 

If you have a positive test result, it is likely you have been exposed to COVID-19 and that you have developed an antibody response to the virus. We strongly recommend you review your results with your healthcare provider so that he/she can work with you to determine your best care based on the test results, along with other factors of your medical history, including (but not limited to) any previous symptoms, possible exposure to COVID-19, and the location of places you have recently traveled. There is a chance this test can give a false positive result. Again, iIt is important that you work with your healthcare provider to help you understand the next steps you should take.

A negative test result means antibodies for the virus that causes COVID-19 were not found in your sample. However, it is possible for this test to give a false negative in some people with COVID-19 infection. A negative result may occur for several reasons, such as if you are tested early in your illness and your body hasn’t had time to produce antibodies to infection. If this is the case, your healthcare provider will consider the test result together with all other aspects of your medical history (such as symptoms, possible exposures, and geographical location of places you have recently traveled) in deciding how to care for you. It is important that you work with your healthcare provider to help you understand the next steps you should take.

The test used by ARCpoint Labs has not been reviewed or approved by the FDA. ARCpoint Labs does the phlebotomy pull (or blood draw), then sends the sample off to a high-complexity lab for testing and review by a physician. We are providing these tests based upon the FDA’s Policy for Coronavirus Disease-2019 Tests During the Public Health Emergency.

Yes. The FDA currently requires the following disclaimers be provided with all results:

• This test has not been reviewed by the FDA.
• Negative results do not preclude acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. If acute infection is suspected, direct testing for SARS-CoV-2 is necessary.
• Results from antibody testing should not be used to diagnose or exclude acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.
• Positive results may be due to past or present infection with non-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus strains, such as coronavirus HKU1, NL63, OC43, or 229E.

ARCpoint Labs partners with several test manufacturers and high complexity labs to provide these antibody tests to the consumer. Please contact your ARCpoint Labs location for specific information about the test they are offering.

No. This test uses a venipuncture (blood draw) to help find out if you have antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19. This is NOT a test for the presence of the COVID-19 virus.

No, fasting is not required for this test.

If you are severely immunocompromised, on immune suppressing prescription medication, or taking long-term inhaled corticosteroids, you may not be able to form antibodies in a predictable way, making the results of this test less reliable.

No. You can make an appointment for this test without a referral from your doctor.

We currently do not accept insurance.  We are able to provide you with the CPT code and receipt for the COVID-19 test to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. All insurance companies vary, and you will need to reach out to them about your potential reimbursement. We are able to accept most major credit cards, debit cards and cash. In some locations we can also accept Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending accounts (FSAs). Check with your local ARCpoint Labs for payment options.

• The results, along with other information, can help your healthcare provider make informed recommendations about your care. 
• The results of this test may help limit the spread of COVID-19 to your family and others in your community.

Pricing varies per location, so check with your local ARCpoint Labs for testing options and pricing. Please find your nearest location.

IV Therapy is not new technology, but its inclusion in mainstream medicine is. As we have gained more insight into the role that micronutrients play in preventive medicine, they have been used more widely as a safe and effective way to rehydrate and deliver vitamins and minerals to the body as well as to prevent illness and maintain health.

The fluids from the IV usually last days after the IV session is completed. The effects of the vitamins or other supplements and how long they stay in the body will vary depending on the person.

IV injections and infusions function as a kick-start to optimal micronutrient balance. Oral supplementation and vitamin-specific injections can be very helpful in maintaining these changes in the long term and should be discussed with your physician.
