MORE: Blood donations urged with more surgeries, summer approaching
After this week, the collection site also will no longer offer COVID-19 IgG antibody testing at the drive-through collection site at UD Arena, but such testing will continue to be available at CompuNet patient service centers throughout the region.
The collection site at UD Arena will focus exclusively on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test that is used to determine if individuals are currently positive for COVID-19. The PCR test requires a physician’s order.
An individual can seek a physician order for the COVID-19 IgG antibody test if they want to qualify for insurance coverage, or they can receive the test without a doctor’s order for a flat rate of $65. More information is at compunetlab.com/locations.
CompuNet’s COVID-19 IgG antibody serological test is performed at its lab in Moraine.
CORONAVIRUS: Complete coverage
To protect patients from possible COVID-19 exposure, CompuNet’s patient service centers are taking the following precautions: Both staff members and patients are required to wear a mask, and social distancing is observed within the waiting area, with limitations on the number of patients in a waiting room at one time. When a waiting room becomes busy, patients might be asked to wait in their car until called in. Patients are permitted to bring one adult companion to assist. Children under the age of 18 are not permitted unless they are the patient. Each room is being cleaned after every patient visit and hand sanitizer is available to patients.
