Unfortunately, we are not allowed to test people with Corona symptoms. If you have Corona symptoms (e.g. cough, increased temperature or fever, cold, shortness of breath, disorders of the sense of smell or taste, sore throat, headache or pain in the limbs) please contact your GP or the doctor’s call / patient service number 116117 or visit the website www.116117.de for more information.

If your test result is positive, you are obliged to immediately place yourself in domestic quarantine. According to the Infection Protection Act, this is a notifiable disease. Therefore, we are obliged to forward your data to the public health department. This ensures that your contacts can be traced. In case of a positive antigen rapid test, you are welcome to have a free PCR test carried out by us.

If the result of the rapid test is invalid, you will be informed immediately and have the option of repeating the test promptly and free of charge. However, this only happens in rare cases.

Bei einer Buchung erklären Sie sich einverstanden die Kosten für den Test zu übernehmen. Ob die Kosten des Tests von Ihrem Arbeitgeber oder Ihrer Krankenversicherung übernommen werden, ist von Fall zu Fall verschieden und sollte von Ihnen im Vorfeld abgeklärt werden. Eine Rückerstattung im Falle eines nachträglich eingereichten Nachweises für einen Test nach TestVerordnung ist nicht möglich.

Your data is processed by us in accordance with DSGVO and is secure. In principle, your data will not be used or passed on. However, in the event of a positive result, we are obliged to forward your data to the health authorities.

According to the Test Ordinance of 25.06.2021 §7 Para. 5 ff., we are legally obliged to keep the data for auditing purposes until 2024.

Nachweis des Anspruchs auf kostenlose Schnelltests:

For infants, the proof is the birth certificate or the child passport, for pregnant women the maternity passport.

Those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons must provide an original medical certificate stating the medical contraindication.

Participants in vaccine efficacy studies can obtain proof of participation from the persons responsible for the studies and present it.

Those wishing to be exempted must present the PCR test; the same applies to household members of infected persons, who also require proof of a matching residential address.

When visiting nursing homes or hospitals, a free test can be taken on site or the visit can be made credible to the testing centre. For example, the sample form (PDF, not barrier-free, 6 KB) posted on the BMG website can be used as proof after confirmation by the nursing home for submission to the testing centre.

Family carers must also provide the testing centre with credible proof that they are caring for a relative in need of care.

Beneficiaries under a „personal budget“ and persons employed by them must also provide credible evidence of this circumstance. A person entitled to benefits under § 29 SGB IX can usually prove this by means of a corresponding notice.

Proof of entitlement to rapid tests with 3€ co-payment:

It is also necessary to be able to prove the entitlement for citizen tests with own contribution. This can be done, for example, by showing the Corona warning app with the status indication „increased risk“ or the ticket for an event, a reservation confirmation, an invitation or other proof from which participation on the same day can be deduced.

The self-disclosure is recorded in writing.

As a rule, the test certificate is valid for 24 hours. Please observe the currently valid Corona regulations in the respective federal state in which you would like to use your test certificate.

You will receive your test result conveniently by e-mail or, if you wish, we can print out your test result directly on site.
You can also view the test result in your customer account. Your result will be shown there together with your personal data as well as the time and date of the test.

The test we perform involves a swab in the nasopharynx, oral pharynx, anterior nasal region or, for children up to 6 years of age, also as a lollipop test. The great advantage of the antigen test is that the test result is already available after 15-20 minutes. The result is sent to you by e-mail and can also be printed out if desired. The rapid test we use meets the legal requirements (PEI validated) for a SARS-CoV-2 rapid test. It has a very high sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, it can detect or exclude SARS-CoV-2 with a very high probability.

In principle, we prefer to perform a deep throat swab for rapid antigen tests. This can be done through the nose or the mouth.
Deep throat swabs have a much higher accuracy than an anterior nasal swab. Our medical management has decided in favour of this type of sample collection for quality reasons.
If desired, we can also perform anterior nasal swabs. Please ask us about this before taking the sample.
For children up to 6 years of age, we can also take saliva samples using the „lollipop“ test, in which the extraction stick is held on and under the tongue for approx. 20 seconds.

Basically, the test is suitable for you if you want to find out whether you are infected with SARS-CoV-2. This makes sense before meeting family members, friends or before returning to your own workplace. If you already have acute symptoms of corona disease, you cannot have the rapid test done at our centre. This is for the protection of staff and other fellow citizens. Should you experience acute symptoms, please contact the public health department, your family doctor or the doctor’s call number of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians at 116117.

We use a rapid test approved by the competent state authorities. The Federal Ministry of Health (BMG), as well as the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), have now recognised corona antigen rapid tests as an elementary component of the testing strategy.

In principle, a rapid test can be booked with us without age restriction. Adolescents aged 14 and over may have a rapid test carried out without an explicit declaration of consent from their parents. Children between 10 and 14 years of age may have the test carried out with a declaration of consent from their parents. Under 10s can only have a test if accompanied by a parent or guardian. Children also need an identification document to present before the test is carried out.
