FAQ’s
How does it work?
Before you leave home, purchase your kit and pack it in your carry-on luggage. To take your return test, scan the QR code on the test or log on to care cityhealth.com/activate.
No appointment is needed – testing specialists are standing by 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Once you have activated your kit, a testing specialist will be with you shortly to verify your identity (please have your passport ready), and coach you through the easy sample collection and testing process.
Once your sample is collected, you will test it using the testing solution provided. This takes about 10 minutes. A testing specialist will view the result and tell you if you are COVID positive or negative.
When the test is over, you will be sent a link via a secure email and text message to view and download your results. As a security feature, you’ll need to enter your name and date of birth to view your results.
Tip: Use the contact information you would like your results sent to. For example, use your cell phone number and an email address that you check while traveling instead of your office number and work email.
What type of COVID test is RapidReturn?
You can find the FDA Patient Fact Sheet here.
Your sample is collected via a self-administered nasal swab inserted about ¾” inside each nostril.
How long does the test take?
It will take about 10 minutes for the testing solution to return a result. Your official Digital Health Certificate will be sent to you as soon as it’s generated, usually within 2-3 minutes of your appointment. In rare cases, it may take up to 5 hours for results to be delivered.
What is included in a RapidReturn Kit?
Each test contains a sterile swab, pre-filled tube of testing reagent, and a testing device. Each Kit has a unique activation code to identify your results.
Note that there are enough supplies for one Kit per person. Two people cannot share one RapidReturn Kit.
We're traveling as a couple/group. How many RapidReturn Kits do we need?
Why do I need my passport to take a RapidReturn test?
If you do not have your passport handy, a US-issued driver’s license is also acceptable.
Can RapidReturn Kits be sent to my destination instead?
We recommend purchasing your kits before you leave, as we cannot guarantee international shipping.
When will my RapidReturn Kits arrive?
Depending on the shipping option you choose, orders can arrive next day, in 3-5 business days, or within 5-7 business days.
Can I pack RapidReturn Kits in my carry-on?
How will I receive my results?
After your test, you’ll receive a secure email and text message with a link to view and download your test results, called a Digital Health Certificate.
To keep your data secure, this link will expire in 72 hours. You will need to enter your first name, last name, and date of birth to access your results.
Does CityHealth do in-person COVID testing?
We also offer in-home, mail-in, pre-travel, workplace, and event testing options.
