At-Home Testing
At-home testing is an easy way to help you take control of your health.
Here’s what happens when you receive your LetsGetChecked at-home test:
- You will receive a test kit with detailed instructions and a prepaid envelope to send your completed test to the lab.
- Complete the test in the privacy and comfort of your own home — most tests take less than 15 minutes to complete.
- Then, simply send it off to the lab in the pre-paid envelope that came with your kit. It’s that easy.
Soon after you complete your test and send it to the lab, you will receive results in the mail. If you have a primary care provider, a copy of your results will be sent to them. We encourage you to discuss your results with your PCP.
Testing at home may be a good option for you and your health care provider to manage your health.
It offers many convenient advantages:
- No special preparation is needed
- No need to make time for an appointment
- You can collect your test sample in the privacy of your own home
- Your test kit is delivered right to your door
- Free, prepaid shipping for sending your sample to the lab
