Do you offer the Covid-19 test?

Yes, we offer 3 types of Covid-19 tests. 1) Rapid Covid Antibody test. This is a 10 minute blood test that checks for antibodies your body produces in response to a covid infection. It tells you whether you have had recent (after 7-10days) or past (weeks to months ago) covid infection. 2) Rapid Covid Antigen test. This is a 10 minute nose swab test that checks for a specific protein on the surface of the Covid virus in you nose. It tells you whether you have Covid infection Now or Acutely. 3) Covid PCR test: This is the gold standard and it is the most accurate. Although it takes 4-7 days for results.

Call 844-733-7678 or (844) PED-POST if you are above 50years and need to be seen by us. We accept most major insurances.

Are you equipped to take X-rays and read them?

Yes we have a stationary digital X-ray machine in-doors and can take same day films for a host of conditions including but not limited to suspected fractures, retained foreign body, pneunomia, cervical spine films for whiplash injuries, skull films, sinus films and more. We can read xrays but our reads are never final because we get another read from a board certified radiology group called "teleradiology" by sending your films to them electronically and they give us a final read. Typical duration from taking an X-ray to a read by Teleradiology is 30minutes to 48hrs. Depending on the severity, we can put in a stat read request and your films will be read in less than 30 minutes.

Is PedPost Urgent Care associated with Medpost Urgent Care

PedPost Urgent Care is a separate entity and not related to Medstar Urgent Care in any way or form. PedPost Urgent Care's reputation speaks for itself through reviews on facebook, google and yelp. We are your convenient Urgent Care.



Will insurance cover labs?

Insurances we accept cover your labs we offer. If you have BCBS, United, Cigna, Aetna, Humana, Meritain, Insurances will cover your labs. Copays, Co-insurances or deductibles may be due at time of service depending on the lab. Call your insurance for information about labs they cover before your visit. Because most labs must have a diagnosis, we bill your insurance for an office visit that includes the time spent collecting the specimen and evaluating you for the diagnosis. The lab should bill your insurance separately. Your copay, coinsurance or deductible may apply with the lab because your insurance considers labs a separate place of service.
