According to a release, the site offers both PCR and antigen tests with a 24 to 48-hour turnaround for PCR tests and a one-hour turnaround for antigen tests. The samples are processed in a CLIA-certified laboratory using FDA EUA-authorized test kits. The testing site is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

Appointments are not required, but individuals must bring an insurance card if they have one. If not, they can still receive a test. If you wish to pre-register, visit www.nomihealth.com/fl  and select your location.
