What You Need to Know About the COVID-19 IgG Antibody Test
COVID-19 IgG antibody testing, also known as serology testing, checks for a type of antibody called immunoglobulin G (IgG). This test is sent to LabCorp. If you have been exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19, your body typically produces IgG antibodies as part of the immune response to the virus. Antibody tests may not be able to show if you have been exposed to COVID-19 because it can take at least two weeks after exposure to develop antibodies.
This type of COVID-19 test is for individuals who think they may have had COVID-19 and DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE SYMPTOMS. This test does not tell you if you have an active infection.
Please consult your healthcare provider if you have symptoms or suspect you currently have COVID-19.
How Can I Get This Test?
This test can be ordered through your doctor, either in-person or via telehealth; through a telemedicine program if offered by your health plan or employer, or through some employee wellness plans. The test can also be conveniently requested through LabCorp.com using an independent physician service, PWNHealth, to determine if the test is right for you. You will be given an 8 diget Order Number.
Once the test order is placed, your antibody blood test is collected in our facility by appointment only. Call 573-378-5438 to make an appointment. Fax # 573-378-7375.
