You don't need to be symptomatic and don't need permission from your primary care physician.

Cost is covered by most types of health insurance, including Medicare, and the copay likely covered by your Medicare supplement.

You can just walk in, but if you have active symptoms they want you to call ahead 888-693-2340. But you can still get tested.

I was tested on a recent Saturday and got the results the following Tuesday (thankfully, no evidence I had been exposed to the virus).
Interesting. Did you have symptoms or did you just want to see if you were infected for that period of time? I have been curious as to why anyone would get tested unless they had a specific reason, such as a requirement before entering a work place, etc.
