The Abbott BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 Ag Card Home Test is a simple solution for at-home COVID-19 antigen testing, with results available in 15 minutes. This test provides convenience and flexibility plus virtual supervision that may meet testing requirements for travel or events*—including current CDC guidelines for travelers returning to the US.
Along with your test kits, your purchase includes online observation from a trained telehealth proctor. When you’re ready to use your test, you’ll connect live with a telehealth proctor at eMed Labs, LLC to enable better sample collection, improved confidence in your results, and to provide the supervision required to meet many testing guidelines.
*If you’re considering using this test for travel or other uses such as concerts, plays, or sporting events, check with your airline, destination country, cruise line, or event to get their specific testing requirements. That includes confirming whether they accept the results of a rapid antigen test such as this one, or if they require a molecular test (eg, PCR). This is not a molecular test.

This test uses an anterior nares (nasal) swab collection kit, which is authorized by the FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)3. It allows you to collect your sample and obtain a test result at home or another location while being supervised virtually by an eMed telehealth proctor. This test is used to screen for COVID-19, an illness caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.

The COVID-19 At-Home Rapid Antigen Test (2-pack) contains 2 tests. We recommend purchasing 1 2-pack of tests per person just in case you lose or contaminate a part of the test or have an error during the testing process. However, each test in the 2-pack can be used by a different person.
We recommend purchasing your 2-pack of tests a full week before you plan to take your test. On average, it takes 3 days for the test pack to arrive, but if postal slowdowns are affecting your area, it may take a few additional days for a test pack to arrive.
Note: The Abbott BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 Ag Card Home Test does have an expiration date and the minimum expiration date for the kit you are purchasing can be found on the product page.
To take the test, you will need:
Telehealth proctors at eMed Labs, LLC are known as eMed Certified Guides and are available every day, 24 hours a day, which means you can complete your test at any time of the day or night and on holidays. When you are ready to take your test, follow the directions to connect with an eMed Certified Guide at eMed Labs, LLC.
It will take approximately 15 minutes for your results to be available on your test card. You will also receive an eMed Lab Report via email, and if you've downloaded and registered the NAVICA app, your test results will also appear there.
Note: While your results will appear on your test card in 15 minutes, obtaining official documentation of your test result from eMed may take longer. The exact length of time will depend on the volume of testing occurring at the time of your virtual appointment.
Your test results will tell you whether you are currently infected with COVID-19. (Refer to CDC guidance on self-testing for additional information.) If your results are positive, it is important to contact your healthcare provider, isolate, monitor your symptoms, and follow up with a molecular PCR test, such as QuestDirect’s COVID-19 Active Infection test, to confirm whether you have an active infection.
If your results are negative, it means the virus was not detected in the sample you provided.
No, you cannot cancel or return the COVID-19 At-Home Rapid Antigen Test. Tests are nonrefundable and nonreturnable.
