FAQ

What is the cost of a strep test?

Strep testing and assessments are available for a cash fee of $45. This includes your evaluation and rapid test. If treatment is needed, prescription costs are separate and may be covered by your insurance. We recommend contacting your insurance provider for specific coverage details.

How quickly can I be seen? Do I need an appointment?

No appointment is needed. Wait times may vary. Visit any Macey’s Pharmacy location during business hours for convenient care.

Do I get my test results same day?

Yes. We use rapid point-of-care testing, with results available in as little as 5 minutes after the throat swab is collected.

Do I have to contact my doctor for a prescription?

No. If your test is positive, the pharmacist can prescribe antibiotic treatment on the spot, provided there are no contraindications, saving you an extra trip to the doctor.

Can children be tested?

Yes, children as young as 4 years old can be tested and treated.
