Reliable COVID-19 testing in Houston: rapid and PCR options

Searching for “rapid COVID testing near me” or affordable PCR testing from a facility with onsite lab services for fast results? Look no further than NeuMed for same-day PCR results and the added assurance of PCR accuracy. Our PCR tests can give you results within 1 hour.

PCR COVID test vs rapid test

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing has been described as the “gold standard,” since a lab is needed for accuracy. With our lab onsite, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you’ve received a private PCR COVID test considered superior to other testing modalities.

Pricing for the two protocols varies, but having the option to choose which test is best for your immediate needs — especially a PCR COVID test for travel — is often the deciding factor.

Will you be travelling soon?

If you need a rapid PCR COVID test because you’ll be traveling soon — maybe even searching for a test near the Houston airport — our convenient location is one more reason to choose NeuMed. The high-quality care that has made us one of Houston’s premier urgent care sites is never compromised for fast result times.

The takeaway and pricing

Whether you need rapid COVID testing or a PCR test in Houston, you’ll receive top-tier testing from our team of dedicated health professionals. Pricing for rapid COVID testing is $149, and pricing for a PCR COVID test is $249.

COVID-19 vs flu symptoms

COVID-19 and influenza share many symptoms — fever, cough, fatigue, body aches, and sore throat. Testing helps distinguish them and guide next steps. Read our flu or COVID-19 comparison guide for more detail.

When to test

Testing may be recommended when you have respiratory symptoms, known exposure, or need results for travel, work, or school — based on current guidelines and your situation.

Walk-in evaluation

A provider reviews your symptoms and discusses appropriate test types. Walk-ins are welcome seven days a week at NeuMed Houston clinics.
