Olympus Health & Performance is now proudly offering coronavirus (COVID-19) rapid antigen testing in Utah. We’ve tested tens of thousands of people for COVID-19 via PCR and antibody tests, which we have offered since April 2020.

What is it?

The rapid antigen test determines whether an individual has an active coronavirus infection, even if the person is asymptomatic. Our FDA-authorized tests are manufactured by Access Bio.

Who is it for?:

Those wondering if they are currently actively infected with the coronavirus, especially those without symptoms, and want immediate results. Great for routine testing for businesses trying to keep their doors open.

How fast are results provided?

Our rapid diagnostic test for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 Antigen can identify an active infection in symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals in 10 minutes.

How accurate are the results?

Sensitivity – 88.4%; Specificity – 100%. This means that if the test is negative, there is an 11.6% chance of a false negative. But if the test is positive, it is 100% accurate.

What is the cost?

In addition to faster results, rapid antigen testing is also less expensive than PCR testing. While we currently do not accept insurance for rapid antigen tests, the self-pay cost is only $75 per test which you may submit to insurance for reimbursement. Payment by credit or debit card only. We are currently unable to process cash payments.

Should I get the Antigen or PCR test?

Both the Antigen and PCR test for the active virus. The PCR test is slightly more accurate but results take longer: 48-72 hours. If time is of the essence, we will provide you with the results of your Antigen test within 10 minutes.

Where Is Testing Conducted?

Upon special request, we may be able to accommodate mobile testing for businesses or individuals. Testing is located at our Holladay office by appointment only.

Testing for Businesses

Many businesses across Utah are relying on COVID-19 rapid antigen testing of staff members to quickly identify infections and prevent outbreaks amongst employees and customers. Customers and employees appreciate businesses that take extra steps for their safety, and regular testing is part of a complete safety protocol. According to the CDC, an estimated 40% of those infected with COVID-19 are asymptomatic, so testing all employees regardless of symptoms is an important way to limit the spread and reduce absenteeism.
