How long does a strep test take?

A strep test typically takes only a few minutes. The strep A test is performed with a throat swab, while the strep B test is performed with a cotton swab or a urine sample. Depending on the procedure utilized, your healthcare professional can tell you how long your strep test will take.

What happens if you test positive for group B strep?

Adults rarely have signs or sickness from Group B strep, but it can be harmful for newborn babies. Antibiotics are routinely administered to women who test positive for group B strep during pregnancy to prevent the infection from being transmitted to the baby as it travels through the birth canal. Antibiotics are not required for women with group B strep who are having a scheduled Cesarean section since the baby will not be exposed to the germs in the birth canal.

How much does a strep test cost in Washington DC?

The cost of a strep test is determined by a number of factors, including provider rates, the type of test (throat swab, vaginal swab, or urinalysis), geographic region, and whether or not your health plan covers this treatment. The easiest method to find out how much a strep test will cost is to get an estimate from your health insurance company or the step test company.

I cut my knee down to the bone, and we have a baby on the way and I was afraid I'd have to go the ER and spend a million bucks. Thankfully the doctors here were able to fix this for me and were AMAZING, and they were able to do everything for only $290 with the self pay discount. They answered the phone nicely and got me honest transparent pricing costs when I asked. John Geno was excellent at doing the stitches, really good skill, it didn't hurt at all even though this cut was down to the bone and hurt like crazy originally. This is a high quality clinic and when I had a time of emergency/need, they didn't take advantage at all, they gave high quality medical skill/service at a totally reasonable cost. And again, John's one of the nicest doctors I've ever talked to. Nurses were nice. Highly recommend!!
