Adirondack Health's COVID testing clinic exclusively performs PCR tests.
A PCR (molecular) test detects genetic material from the virus using a lab technique called polymerase chain reaction, or PCR. A sample is collected by inserting a long nasal swab into your nostril and obtaining a test specimen from the back of your nose.
Adirondack Health's COVID testing clinic is not currently administering antigen (or "rapid") tests.
We run all of our COVID tests on site at Adirondack Medical Center. Test results are typically available within 48 hours.

Patients will be responsible for the cost of any test performed without a specific order, as well as any associated co-pays and/or deductibles, which are determined by health insurance companies and plans.
Typically, results are available within 48 hours, but it may take up to 72 hours.
