“If a symptomatic person who has severe allergies has a negative test, you can feel pretty confident in that negative,” he said. To Kolonich’s mind, that’s where the evaluation becomes crucial. “But you’re always going to have false negatives.” “The goal is to get a test that’s at least 80% sensitive,” Kolonich said. It’s the evaluation that Kolonich felt was most important, in part because of the occasional false negative results, which can be produced in not just the rapid antigen test but other types as well. “We can evaluate them at their vehicle, we can get vital signs, we can do the test there.” “Everyone who comes here sees a physician assistant or a provider,” Kolonich said. The sample goes into one of two analyzers to be processed. Patients wait in the parking lot, where they’re assessed by a physician and given a swab similar to those used at other testing sites in the region. The test detects a protein on the covid-19 virus.
The iCare facility has invested in a system to process what is called a rapid antigen test, which returns covid-19 test results in about 20 minutes.
They want to put forth the best tests we have at the time.” “I think it’s very important for people to understand that all these tests are out there under the FDA’s emergency-use authorization order. “No test is 100% sensitive,” said Kolonich, a physician with iCare Urgent Care on Route 22 in Monroeville. John Kolonich of Monroeville thinks people need to be talking much more about covid-19 testing, and that those doing the testing should be talking much more to their patients. Probably going to take me at least 8 months.Dr. I’m paying the Bill, but a little tiny bit at a time. This business is run very poorly and they need to find better and friendlier girls to man the front desk and people who may hate their job, but are at least friendly to patients. Everything was to be covered that day, that’s why the insurance was checked and deductible was paid.
8 months! Most of the time I can’t remember from one month ago, let alone 8 months ago. 8 months after the visit we receive a bill in the mail for additional charges. The lovely nurse then says, “You can exit there”, which we did. But we were left sitting in the room for forever minutes, before a very non-friendly, or not so happy girl, who apparently hates her job, enters the room and does the swab for Covid and strep, saying they will be done in 15 minutes forever minutes later, a doctor walks in and says no Covid, no strep, here’s a prescription for him. After filling out paperwork, paying our deductible, we were put in a room rather quickly. After having one incident at the Ebensburg clinic over insurance, money and ripping the paperwork I filled out for my son in half, after I politely asked for it back and I drove him elsewhere we had to return because my son became very sick overnight on a weekend, causing me to visit, again.
