You can make an appointment in our online scheduling system.

Yes, we do but there are some exceptions.  

• Physician’s order is required for Private or commercial Insurance.
• A Physician’s order is not required for Federal Insurance or CARES Act.

**Cares Act Disclaimer: In many cases, there is no cost to you. Our pricing and policies are subject to change based on a variety of criteria, including but not limited to, changes to HRSA coverage of individuals in the U.S. without health care coverage.

5. Administrative Personnel

A fluid sample is collected by inserting a long nasal swab (nasapharengeal swab) into your nostril and taking fluid from the back of your nose.

Yes. A Parent/Guardian consent form will need to be signed prior to testing minors.

Yes, you will need to contact our accounting department to initiate the refund process. They can be reached at 844-368-5227 Ext. 704. It takes 2 – 3 business days for the refund to be processed in full.

Results can be available in as little as 30 minutes. We also have same day options available.

We will work dilligently to correct any discrepancies. Contact us at 844-368-5227 or email info@millenialabs.us

We will need notification prior to your test if your test results need a QR code. You may include this request in the notes when you schedule your appointment on our online booking system or call us directly.

COVID-19 molecular tests collect and examine genetic material produced by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (viral RNA) to determine current infection.
Test results will confirm whether or not you are infected with COVID-19.

If your results are positive, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately, self-isolate, and monitor your symptoms.

Negative results may indicate that you were not infected with or had a high viral load of COVID-19 at the time your sample was collected. However, it is important to note that in some cases there is not enough SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the sample to detect the virus (false negative). This can happen in a certain percentage of cases during different stages of infection. If you have been exposed or are experiencing symptoms, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and to take protective measures to avoid infecting others. Negative results do not mean that you are not at risk for contracting or spreading COVID-19.

It is important that you discuss your test results with your doctor and follow public health guidance about safety precautions.

Yes, everyone is eligible for the RT-PCR test given they provide us with the required documents, government-issued ID, and/or passport.

Yes, we do.  Many patients use our results to travel internationally.

Individuals also have the right to have testing without submitting to insurance or the government for reimbursement. Individuals who want to pay for the testing and do not plan to seek reimbursement can purchase a COVID-19 Molecular Test.

This COVID-19 no-cost-to-you program is available to eligible individuals for $0 out of pocket when billed to a health plan or the government.

Please bring a government-issued ID & passport (if traveling).

• 24-hour PCR
• Rapid Antigen Tests

Yes, it is recommended that you remain in your vehicle while the test is being conducted.

Yes, Millenia offers testing to patients between the ages of 2 and 17 using pediatric-friendly swabs. All minors must be accompanied to their appointment by a parent or legal guardian.

Real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a valuable molecular technique performed in a high complexity laboratory that accurately analyzes the genetic material of pathogens. As a modern molecular biology lab, Millenia Advanced Scientific utilizes PCR to identify and quantify bacteria and viruses as well as determine antibiotic resistance. PCR is 3-5X more sensitive than conventional culture techniques and allows Millenia Advanced Scientific to report results for both pathogen identification and antibiotic resistance within 8 hours of the specimen’s arrival to the lab. 

Travelers who are required to test prior to their travel.
Anyone who believes that they were exposed to a person infected with COVID-19.

Currently display symptoms of COVID-19 including cough, loss of taste or smell, fatigue, headache sore throat or fever.

Currently have COVID-19 symptoms including fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea. other less common symptoms may include tiredness, body or muscle aches, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, and/or runny or stuffy nose. First-line workers healthcare and support persons and educators.

RT-PCR test uses Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase (RT)-PCR Diagnostic Panels for detecting the virus and is quite accurate. This test can detect the virus even before you experience symptoms, preventing the further spread of infection.

The rapid antigen test comes in handy only while detecting patients who are quite symptomatic. Though the results can be revealed within 30 minutes, this test is not considered accurate, as it may not read into vital proteins that are part of Coronavirus at the initial stages. Even if your rapid antigen test turns negative, the doctors might recommend you wait for a couple of days, before confirming the presence of infection.

If you happen to notice the symptoms of COVID-19, go for an RT-PCR test for better results.

Antigen tests are immunoassays that detect the presence of a specific viral antigen, which implies current viral infection. Antigen tests for SARS-CoV-2 are generally less sensitive than real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and other nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for detecting the presence of viral nucleic acid.

The “gold standard” for clinical diagnostic detection of SARS-CoV-2 remains laboratory-based (moderate- and high-complexity) NAATs. RT-PCR-based tests are one type of laboratory-based nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), which continue to be the “gold standard” of diagnostic testing for COVID-19.

Millenia Advanced Scientific is accredited by Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) and COLAHealth.
