HELP - WALGREENS COVID TEST ( IDNOW/NAAT) sample results letter

[blueexpedition29]

Can anyone post a copy ( de-identified of course) of their  covid test results letter provided by Walgreens /PWNHEALTH.  i am looking for the exact description provided.  My son is traveling to CHINA and wants to make sure it is described as a PCR test!

 

Thanks in advance.

Mine says Rapid NAAT test - nowhere on the report does PCR appear.

NAAT is what they use.

Rock - thanks.  i seem to recall that my letters ( which i have since deleted and cant recover from walgreens) reference PCR as well somewhere in a footnote or other description.

Walgreen's offers both NAAT (the rapid ID Now test) and a PCR test.  The NAAT is a category, of which PCR is one specific type of NAAT test.  My Walgreen's PCR  test result is displayed as from a lab, Aegis Sciences Corporation Laboratory Report, gives client as Walgreens and in the middle under "tests requested" section, indicates a number 05700  and the Description SARS-CoV-2, RT-PCR on the same line, then in the box below, the same SARS-CoV-2, RT-PCR (tested for) and under Result heading, the result is posted (as in negative or positive).

I believe if the test is a PCR test, it is clearly identified as such in print on the results page, as both my husband and I had PCR tests administered by different companies and the printed results stated clearly what type of test we had.

12cruise2 - any chance you can post a copy of your letter ( of course, black out any personal info)?

I took a Walgreens test in June.  It literally just says:

 

Test ordered:

  Rapid NAAT Test

Test for:

  SARS-CoV-2

Result:

  Negative

Sorry, can't post the letter.  It's a typical test result page.  We've had many, many covid tests.  They always post what kind of test it is--as in Antigen, NAAT or PCR in my experience.

My son has required PCR tests to return to boarding school for the past couple of years. He's done them at Walgreens. 

 

The results page says:

Thanks All - i was looking for a letter following the NAAT Rapid/IDNOW type test that they administer; but, i am set now.  My son didnt want to chance it and went to a local lab and paid the extra costs to ensure he would have no issues.

The NAAT/Rapid ID Now test is a NAAT test, the category of test that PCR test falls under.  (There are two categories of covid tests--Antigen and NAAT, the antigen test is NOT offered at Walgreens in our area).  You asked for a test result for a PCR test, not the Rapid ID Now test.  I also have a NAAT test result from Walgreens.  Just for others who might read this, you get the same info on the NAAT test result sheet except it comes on Walgreen's letterhead, not a lab letterhead.  It shows the type of test as Rapid NAAT Test for the Rapid ID Now test.
