Please review our Q&A regarding COVID-19 testing.

Which COVID-19 tests do you administer?

ACPNY offers both diagnostic (including rapid) and antibody testing. After a clinical screening visit (virtual or telephonic), a provider will determine which test is appropriate for the patient..

A diagnostic test determines if a patient is currently infected with COVID-19..

An antibody test screens for antibodies in the blood and reveals if a patient had the virus at some point in the past. Your body makes antibodies when it fights an infection, like COVID-19.

A patient who is referred for antibody testing will be provided with Quest Diagnostics contact information to self-schedule a lab appointment.

What are the steps for getting a test at ACPNY?

Testing is by appointment only. ACPNY does not offer walk-in testing.
You must first complete a clinical screening (virtual or telephonic visit) with an ACPNY provider. Please sign in to your myACPNY patient portal to schedule this initial appointment.
