On May 12, 2020, LabCorp announced that its COVID-19 at-home collection test kit is now being offered to individuals nationwide who have symptoms consistent with COVID-19 infection and individuals without symptoms who may have been exposed to the virus. The test is available through the company’s Pixel by LabCorp online platform. Initially, the at-home collection test kits were made available in Apr. to frontline healthcare workers and first responders and this latest move expands access in line with CDC guidelines.

LabCorp’s COVID-19 at-home test kit is physician-authorized and enables individuals to self-collect nasal swab specimens at home. This collection method helps minimize transmission of the virus and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) as it does not require an in-person visit to a medical professional. Individuals can obtain the test with no upfront out-of-pocket costs if they qualify after completing a COVID-19 health screening questionnaire on the Pixel by LabCorp online platform. LabCorp now has over 200,000 at-home collection test kits available and is prepared to significantly expand capacity as required.

LabCorp also offers a COVID-19 antibody blood test which can be helpful to understand if an individual has developed antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19. The antibody test is also available with no upfront cost for the test on LabCorp.com, or through a doctor, including through telemedicine programs.
