Tests & Costs
To get tested, ask your primary care provider or an urgent care center for a referral.
Diagnostic Coronavirus Testing at Baystate Health
A diagnostic test can show if you have an active coronavirus infection. We offer the most clinically proven testing: nasal swab testing.
PCR (Nasal Swab) Testing
Locations: We offer PCR testing at 5 locations in western MA.
Test price: $130 (billing code U0003), $25 (U0005)
What is a PCR test? For a PCR test, a provider will collect a sample through a nasal swab. The PCR test will detect the virus's genetic material to tell if you have a current COVID-19 infection. These tests are known as the most clinically proven and effective for detecting COVID-19.
Who should get PCR testing? If you currently have symptoms that could be COVID-19, you will need a PCR test.
Rapid Antigen Testing & Rapid PCR Testing
Location: Baystate Health Urgent Care in Longmeadow, Feeding Hills, and Westfield, as testing supplies allow.
Test price: The cost for antigen testing is $160 (billing code 87426). The cost for Rapid PCR testing is $175 (billing code U0004). Please check with your insurance company to find out if you will need to pay out of pocket for testing.
What is antigen testing? Antigen tests, or rapid diagnostic tests, detect certain proteins in the COVID-19 virus. You will receive results within 15 minutes.
What is Rapid PCR testing? Rapid PCR tests are used more often if you have symptoms, and they produce results within 15 minutes.
Who should get antigen testing or Rapid PCR testing?
We offer testing at Baystate Health Urgent Care sites if you:
- Do not have COVID-19 symptoms but were exposed to someone with COVID-19
- Need a faster test for work or travel
- Have symptoms and need to be tested
Positive test results are highly accurate with rapid testing. However, there is a higher change of false negatives than with PCR testing.
Antibody Testing
Antibody testing (also called serology testing) checks your blood by looking for antibodies, which may tell you if you had a past infection with the virus that causes COVID-19.
Location: We offer antibody testing by referral at Baystate Reference Laboratories. Talk to your provider about a referral.
We offer this testing to patients with a referral from their provider. However, we, as well as many healthcare organizations including the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, do not recommend using antibody testing for diagnosing COVID-19.
Test Price: $78 (billing code 86769)
Please check with your insurance company to find out if testing will be covered.
Antibodies indicate exposure but not immunity
The Centers for Disease Control, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the American Medical Association recommend against using antibody testing to determine immunity – warning patients against changing behavior in response to a positive antibody test.
Alternative Testing Sites
Due to the volume of test requests we receive, you may encounter a wait for testing if you are asymptomatic (meaning you do not have COVID-19 symptoms).
Here is a list of other locations where you can get tested if you are asymptomatic. You can also see the list of statewide Stop the Spread locations on mass.gov.
