Rapid COVID Testing at Every OnPoint Location
Every OnPoint Urgent Care location offers fast, on-site COVID testing for patients with symptoms or a known exposure. Your test is processed right in the clinic, so your provider can review the results with you during your visit. No appointment, no referral and no waiting days for a callback.
Our clinics are staffed by physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners who see patients of all ages, seven days a week.
When Should You Get a COVID Test?
Get tested as soon as you notice symptoms. If you were exposed but feel fine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends testing at least 5 full days after your exposure. Symptoms can appear anywhere from 2 to 14 days after exposure, according to the CDC.
Common COVID symptoms include:
- Congestion or runny nose
- Cough
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Fever or chills
- Headache
- Muscle or body aches
- Nausea or vomiting
- New loss of taste or smell
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Sore throat
COVID treatment works best when it starts early, so don’t wait to see if your symptoms pass.
How COVID Testing Works at OnPoint
A rapid COVID test is quick and easy at OnPoint. Here’s what to expect from the moment you walk in:
The Swab
Your provider takes a quick nasal swab during your exam. The swab itself takes just a few seconds.
Rapid Results
Most rapid COVID tests return results in about 15 minutes. Your provider reviews them with you before you leave and can start treatment right away if you need it.
Proof of Your Results
Need documentation for work, school or travel? Let our team know, and we’ll give you a copy of your results before you go.
Test for COVID, Flu and Strep in One Visit
COVID, flu and strep throat share many of the same symptoms, from fever and body aches to a sore throat. If your provider suspects more than one could be the cause, we can test for all three during the same visit. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of what’s going on and how to treat it. Learn more about rapid flu testing at OnPoint.
A note on accuracy: rapid COVID tests are fast, but they can miss an infection in its early days. If your test is negative and you still have symptoms, the CDC recommends testing again 48 hours later.
After Your COVID Test
Once your results are in, your provider will walk you through what they mean and what comes next.
If You Test Positive
Your provider will talk with you about managing your symptoms at home and whether antiviral medication is right for you. The CDC recommends antivirals for people at higher risk of severe illness, including adults over 65 and people with certain health conditions. Treatment needs to start within 5 days of your first symptoms. If you qualify, your provider can send a prescription to your preferred pharmacy.
If You Test Negative
A negative rapid test doesn’t always rule out COVID, especially early on. Your provider may recommend a second test and will check whether another illness, such as flu or strep, is behind your symptoms.
If You Need Follow-Up Care
If your symptoms get worse or don’t improve, come back to any OnPoint location or follow up with your primary care provider. Your provider will also go over the warning signs that mean you should head to the ER.
Urgent Care or the ER? Where to Go for COVID Symptoms
Most COVID symptoms can be evaluated and treated at urgent care. Some, though, are signs of a serious problem that needs a hospital right away.
If you think you may have a potentially life-threatening emergency medical condition, do not go to an urgent care center or walk-in clinic. Call 911 or go immediately to your nearest hospital emergency department.
When Walk-In Care Is the Right Call
When to Go to the ER Instead
Call 911 or go straight to the ER if you or someone you’re caring for has any of these emergency warning signs from the CDC:
Where Can You Get a COVID Vaccine?
OnPoint doesn’t offer COVID vaccines, but you can get one at your local pharmacy. In September 2026, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) reissued a statewide standing order that lets pharmacists give updated COVID vaccines without an individual prescription. Call your pharmacy ahead of time to confirm it has the vaccine in stock.
Flu shots are available at all six OnPoint locations without an appointment, and we offer several other vaccines as well.
We Accept Most Major Insurance Plans
OnPoint accepts most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Anthem BCBS, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare and Colorado Medicaid, with a few named exceptions. See the full insurance list to confirm your plan before your visit, or bring your insurance card and our front desk team can verify your coverage when you check in.
