How Much At-Home COVID-19 Tests Cost
The out-of-pocket cost for an at-home COVID test is typically between $109 and $124. All companies other than Pixel by Labcorp require payment at the time of purchase. However, Abbott is releasing BinaxNOW, which is just $25 and will be the most widely available at-home COVID test.
There are two types of at-home COVID-19 tests:
- Home collection tests: Samples are collected at home and sent to a lab for analysis — you typically find out the results in a few days.
- At-home testing: Samples are collected at home, and you perform the test — you get results in a few minutes.
