Antibody testing, also known as serology testing, is conducted via blood sample to detect the presence of antibodies in the body formed in reaction to COVID-19.
According to Michael Nguyen, clinic manager of the Community ER location at 3550 Rayford Road, Spring, the testing process takes approximately 20 minutes, after which results are issued.
"Once you have the appointment booked, ... we're able to see your profile," Nguyen said. "We have you sign two consent forms just so that we can administer the test. ... It takes about three minutes, and then, after that, we will send you your results electronically. ... Or, if you decide, ... we can give you a hard copy."
Tests cost $95 and can be administered at the Community ER location on Rayford Road and the clinic located at 837 FM 1960, Houston.
Community ER will also be offering an IV infusion therapy promotion April 16, during which patients will be able to receive complimentary COVID-19 antibody testing with the purchase of IV infusion therapy. Prices for IV infusion begin at $115. 281-453-7150. https://communityerhouston.com
