Viral Solutions Now Offers Drive-Thru Screenings for PAXLOVID™ Prescriptions
Register now >>
The FDA has authorized the emergency use of PAXLOVID, an investigational medicine, for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in adults and children (12 years of age and older weighing at least 88 pounds [40 kg]) with a positive test for the virus that causes COVID-19, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death, under an EUA.
PAXLOVID is investigational because it is still being studied. There is limited information about the safety and effectiveness of using PAXLOVID to treat people with mild-to-moderate COVID‑19. Read the PAXLOVID fact sheet here.
Viral Solutions Drive-Up Covid Testing is Best in Class
Viral Solutions was founded by an Atlanta-based Emergency Physician and Physician Assistant to help find a way to resolve the current COVID-19 testing and vaccination crisis in Georgia.
We perform COVID-19 PCR testing, because it is the gold standard test. Our patients are evaluated in real time by a local team of Viral Solutions Physicians and Physician Assistants.
We typically have the fastest turnaround times in Atlanta, with reliable results usually arriving within 24 hours.
Viral Solutions believes every person should have immediate access to the best COVID-19 testing available. No patient should wait to get a COVID-19 test. All patients—including the uninsured—should have easy access to COVID-19 testing, and that's what Viral Solutions provides.
See FAQ for more details.
Dr. Ben Lefkove, CEO of Viral Solutions, Describes Covid Infections, Vaccines, and Breakthrough Infections
Viral Solutions performs molecular-based RT-PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing on anterior nasal samples. A small swab will be inserted into the front of your nostrils for a few seconds to obtain an appropriate sample. We chose to use RT-PCR because it caries the highest sensitivity for detection of COVID19. Our tests are approved for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19) under an Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA.
There are many different testing platforms available for detection of COVID19. "Rapid tests" typically test for the proteins on the surface of the virus. This test does not carry the same high-level of sensitivity as the RT-PCR tests that we are performing. It is VERY important that your test detect virus if present, as false negatives can result in you inadvertently exposing your friends and loved ones to COVID19.
For the duration of the federally-declared pubic health emergency, Viral Solutions will offer COVID19 testing to the insured without out of pocket cost to the patient. Per the CARES Act and FFCRA, insurance companies are expected to pay for medically necessary COVID19 testing without applying copays, deductibles, or coinsurance, or any other out of pocket expense. This is regardless of in-network or out-of-network status. However, Congress has failed to fund the COVID19 Uninsured Fund, and as such there is no longer coverage for the uninsured without out of pocket cost.
We do offer no-cost testing to the uninsured (and insured as well, per above) at our Brookhaven DPH partnership location. More info here.
If you are uninsured, please visit our Brookhaven location for a COVID19 PCR test. We do not charge uninsured patients for the cost of evaluation or testing. You will be asked to certify that you are uninsured at the time of evaluation.
Typically, test results return in 24 hours. One of our foundational principles is expedient turn-around of results, as it is vital that you have your answer as soon as possible. Your test results will flow directly into your patient portal, where you can view and print (if needed).
No, you will not be directly billed. We stand by our policy
of no out-of-pocket cost for our patients. COVID19 diagnostics (the "lab fee")
and associated Professional Service Fees (Provider evaluation, determination of
medical necessity, and test ordering) were addressed by the Federal government with
the insurance reforms enacted in the CARES Act and associated HHS regulations.
If your insurance denies payment, we will work directly with
your insurer to inform and educate them on the fact that your service is
covered within the confines of the law and current regulations. Please email us
at help@viralsolutionsga.com if
you receive a denial of coverage notice from your insurance company.
