choose</h2><p>With so many at-home testing kits available, it can be difficult to choose the right test. When it comes to at-home COVID testing, it really boils down to how quickly you need the results and how much you’re willing to spend.</p><p>Pick tests that are approved by the FDA. To determine if a product is FDA-approved, check the FDA’s website.</p><h2 id="contact-a-doctor" data-toc-label="Contact a doctor" class="wp-block-healthline-tabbed-heading">When to contact a doctor</h2><p>If your test is positive and you have an underlying medical condition or are an older adult, notify your healthcare professional.</p><p>If your symptoms continue to get worse, seek emergency care immediately.</p><p>If you test negative and still feel symptoms, you may need to take another test. You could also have an alternative infection that may require a visit to your doctor.</p><h2 id="fa-qs" data-toc-label="FAQs" class="wp-block-healthline-tabbed-heading">Frequently asked questions</h2><h3>When should I order a test?</h3><p><strong>Feeling symptoms.</strong> Order a test as soon as you start feeling any COVID-19 symptoms, especially if you don’t want to risk exposing anyone else by getting tested at an in-person site.</p><p>If you’re using an antigen test, it may be most effective to test again 12 to 24 hours after your first negative result to confirm your results.</p><p><strong>Potential exposure based on an event, activity, or status of another person.</strong> If you want a PCR test, keeping an at-home test kit stored is useful for when you need it. If you’re ordering a PCR test for at-home collection, keep in mind that most test providers take a few days to ship the collection kit and at least a couple of days to deliver test results. </p><p>Some of the at-home tests on our list require you to answer a few questions about your health to determine your symptoms and what your risk of exposure was. This is to prioritize people who have been exposed or are showing symptoms.</p><p>If you’re experiencing severe symptoms, it’s best to seek emergency attention or go to an in-person facility.</p><h3>Are at-home COVID-19 tests accurate?</h3><p>At-home COVID-19 tests are generally as accurate as in-person tests.</p><p>For people who are vaccinated and have been exposed to COVID-19, the test should be done 3 to 5 days after exposure to be the most accurate.</p><p>Even though at-home test kits are processed in the same labs that medical professionals use, there’s no guarantee there won’t be any errors.</p><p>It’s important to follow the test provider’s detailed instructions for collection as well as the shipment process to ensure accuracy.</p><p>If you receive an error in your at-home test results, the <hl-trusted-source source="Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)" rationale="Governmental authority"><a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/testing/self-testing.html" target="_blank" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">CDC recommends</a></hl-trusted-source> thoroughly reviewing the manufacturer’s instructions, contacting the manufacturer, and consulting with a primary care doctor.</p><h3>Where can I buy at-home COVID tests?</h3><p>You can order free tests through your local health department. You can also buy tests online or in pharmacies and retail stores. </p><h3>Are tests covered by insurance?</h3><p>Most at-home tests require payment up front. Pixel by Labcorp is the only at-home test kit that doesn’t require payment up front.</p><p>You can also contact your health insurance to see whether they will reimburse you for the cost of the test. Some test kit providers, like Everlywell, can provide an itemized receipt for insurance reimbursement.</p><h2 id="in-the-news" data-toc-label="In the news" class="wp-block-healthline-tabbed-heading">Home COVID-19 tests in the news</h2><h3>The FDA continues to authorize new at-home testing options</h3><p>Aside from our roundup of at-home COVID-19 testing options, the FDA is continuously analyzing and authorizing new over-the-counter options.</p><p>Part of this urgency stems from emerging coronavirus variants, such as Omicron, as well as attempts to help stop transmission of the virus.</p><p><hl-trusted-source source="Food and Drug Administration (FDA)" rationale="Governmental authority"><a href="https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-updates-test-policies-help-ensure-accuracy-and-reliability-tests-and" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="content-link css-1c2ok3c">One area of focus</a></hl-trusted-source> from the FDA is the authorization or approval of more reliable rapid tests for point-of-care or home use.
