The bikur cholim test was the OLD COR2G test (it will say this on the results)
for COR2G test:
Less than 1.01 is negative
between 1.01 and 1.20 is indecisive
more than 1.2 is positive

The urgent care centers around me all said that co-pays are waived for all COVID-related visits. Does that mean that I can go to a second one that uses a different test in order to confirm the results of the first test for no charge, or is there a limit to how frequently insurance will cover testing? If it matters, my wife is an MD, so I can get any testing Rx I need.

Yes, extremely common due to superspreaders.

Not only does it make sense but it’s the most common scenario I’ve seen- one or more family members yes, one or more family members no.

No.
1. Antibody tests are far from perfect.
2. Nobody knows how long COVID-19 antibodies last for.

Ask your doctor
Get your medical advice from a competent medical professional not from an internet opinion forum

the answer may not be as black and white as
No.
1. Antibody tests are far from perfect.
2. Nobody knows how long COVID-19 antibodies last for.

Roche is now available at Labcorp:
"If test code 164068 SARS-COV-2 is ordered it will be by Roche"
Took the Roche test yesterday, positive result as well.

Can all be the flu, but takes the Labcorp Roche antibody test if you want to know for certain.

That definitely sounds like COVID. Did you ever test for flu? At what point did you check for antibodies? I think you should test for antibodies again with another company

+1.
That's what I said all along.
Usually happens to me when I sleep 7 hours a week despite getting a flu shot.

Certainly possible, but I'd still do this to rule out covid as it appears to be the most accurate antibody test out there.

Went to Dr. on Thursday, he said he knew the test code to get Labcorp to use Roche. Results came back negative for antibodies. But now I see in the online portal that he ordered 164069-SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies (instead of 164068).

He's quite knowledgeable and on his own recommended Roche and said he knew the code, so I don't want to insult him. But @Dan do you have a way to check whether 164069 also translates to Roche?
