At this time, Hackensack Meridian Urgent Cares are not offering COVID-19 vaccines. To schedule your vaccination at another facility, please visit HackensackMeridianHealth.org/COVID19. Vaccines are by appointment only and will only be distributed to those eligible according to the State of New Jersey.

For your convenience, you do not need to pre-register for a COVID-19 Test. Walk-ins are available.

No. Our urgent cares are performing COVID-19 tests on both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients without a prescription. Your provider will talk to you about the best testing option for your unique situation.

Hackensack Meridian Urgent Cares offer rapid COVID-19 antigen tests.

Rapid antigen tests are most effective in people being tested at height of illness when the virus’ presence in the body is highest.

People with and without symptoms can get a PCR test to confirm their COVID-19 status. PCR tests are more accurate in detecting the virus in those without symptoms or those with symptoms who may not be at the peak of their illness.

Rapid antigen test results are available within 15 minutes. However, it is important to note rapid antigen tests are not for everyone.

PCR test results are usually available within 24 – 48 hours but can take longer depending upon volume and test availability. Due to high call volume, we ask that you log onto the portal with the information you were given during your visit to check results. You may have been given information for the following portals:

• HMHMyChart.org
• Patient.labcorp.com
• MyQuest.QuestDiagnostics.com

If it has not been 3 days since your test was performed, please wait before calling the site and continue to check the online portals for results.

Patients are advised to schedule their COVID-19 tests 72 to 96 hours (3 to 4 days) PRIOR to their procedure. Please double-check with your doctor or surgery center to confirm how soon before your procedure you should get tested.

For patients with insurance: Please note, many insurance providers have recently changed their coverage policies around COVID-19 testing. Your out-of-pocket cost for testing may have increased. Please verify coverage with your insurance provider.
