Kruisn'Kay Posted September 18, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I just booked a rapid antigen test at CVS. I see that a “valid document” is a requirement for check in. Does CVS provide required documentation for this type of test? If you have taken this test at CVS, did you receive an email with your results? Thank you so much for your help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RosieRoo Posted September 18, 2021 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I never even registered or signed in at CVS. Got a text message with a link to my results and printed them out. Worked for us. We’re on the ship now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinCruise Posted September 18, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 18, 2021 My suggestion is to have a backup plan. I tested 3 days prior (when it was allowed) due to my work schedule. My wife scheduled 2 days prior. Mine was fine. My wife’s spot was cancelled due to “temporary closure” (perhaps the tech was sick). we called around and found a place that had no waiting - was $55.

Some places offered walk-in. Went. Stood in line for 45 minutes, then they told you to came back 2 to 3 hours later. Our backup was CVS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfguyxxx Posted September 18, 2021 #12 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I made reservations at both Walgreens and at CVS in case something happened. Both were open, both tests went seamlessly and both were negative. I had 2 different copies in the event it was needed; it wasn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not uncommon to see them over 6ft long (2 meters). OK, I was wonder what those 55 pages could be. I did not get 55 pages, so I thought I was missing something or didn't get my moneys worth.

They bill your insurance and if insurance doesn't cover it they use the government program to cover it. Should be no out of pocket to you. If you don't have insurance they use the government program.

shippmates Posted September 18, 2021 #20 Share Posted September 18, 2021 We need to have a test for our 10/3 cruise. The antigen test are getting hard to find. We live in PA and the closest CVS that had any appointments when we needed was in Hagerstown, MD 55 miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have insurance, they'll charge it to your insurance company. If you don't have insurance, they'll charge it to the federal government. At the end of the day, you don't have to pay for it.

Where Walgreens expects you to enter all your info before you can even check dates and locations. How far out does Walgreens book out for? thanx Erika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have taken this test at CVS, did you receive an email with your results? Thank you so much for your help! I think the valid document part of the rules is to prevent people from trying to use handwritten notes from doctors (or people pretending to be doctors) or typing up their own results document. If you’re getting your test done at any establishment that is in the business of doing covid tests (i.e. pharmacies, urgent care clinics, hospitals, testing centers, the health department, etc.) I don’t think you need to be worried that the results document they send you won’t be considered valid. Providing documentation that can be used to prove your negative status to entities that require it is literally their job, and for all of the complaints we hear about the US’s testing infrastructure, not being able to put together a results doc that is widely accepted hasn’t been one of them.
