What it is

A rapid strep test checks a throat swab for group A strep bacteria, the cause of strep throat, and gives a result in minutes. It helps the clinician decide whether antibiotics are needed.

What the price covers

The price usually covers the rapid test only. The visit is billed separately, and a backup throat culture, if done, has its own charge.
