No. Our urgent cares are performing COVID-19 tests on both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients without a prescription. Your provider will talk to you about the best testing option for your unique situation.

Hackensack Meridian Urgent Cares offer rapid COVID-19 antigen tests.

Rapid antigen tests are most effective in people being tested at height of illness, when the virus’ presence in the body is highest.

People with and without symptoms can get a PCR test to confirm their COVID-19 status. PCR tests are more accurate in detecting the virus in those without symptoms or those with symptoms who may not be at the peak of their illness.

Learn more about COVID-19 test types here.

Rapid antigen test results are available within 15 minutes. However, it is important to note rapid antigen tests are not for everyone.

PCR test results are usually available within 24 – 48 hours, but can take longer depending upon volume and test availability. Due to high call volume, we ask that you log onto the portal with information you were given during your visit to check results. You may have been given information for the following portals: HMHMyChart.org, Patient.labcorp.com, or MyQuest.QuestDiagnostics.com.

If it has not been 3 days since your test was performed, please wait before calling the site and continue to check the online portals for results.

Patients are advised to schedule their COVID-19 tests 72 to 96 hours (3 to 4 days) PRIOR to their procedure.  Please double check with your doctor or surgery center to confirm how soon before your procedure you should get tested. 

Insurance coverage for COVID-19 testing may vary. Please verify costs and coverage with your individual insurance carrier directly.

Our Brick, Jackson, Toms River, Forked River and Long Beach Island locations require pre-registration for COVID-19 testing. You must pre-register prior to arriving for a COVID-19 test. Please call the location of your choice to register over the phone. Our team members will assign you a COVID-19 testing timeslot. Please have insurance information ready before calling.

Our Neptune, Freehold, Monroe and Piscataway locations offer walk-in COVID-19 testing. However, you may experience longer wait times. For your convenience, these locations also offer online COVID-19 testing pre-registration.

As part of the Cares Act, regardless of your immigration status, if you are a New Jersey resident and do not have health insurance, COVID-19 test processing fees are waived at Hackensack Meridian Urgent Care locations. Please note, at the time of your COVID-19 test, you will also be seen and evaluated by a provider. Therefore, you will be billed by Hackensack Meridian Urgent Care for your in-office evaluation. You will not be billed by the lab that processes your COVID-19 test.

We treat children 15 and older and adults for behavioral issues including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, stress and PTSD. Our service is not a replacement for your psychiatrist, psychologist or therapist, but our team of physicians and nurse practitioners can get you on the road to recovery faster.

If you’re experiencing the any of the below symptoms and your regular psychiatrist, psychologist or therapist is not available, Hackensack Meridian Urgent Care with Behavioral Health can help:

• Anxiety, stress or perceived panic attack
• Loss of interest in doing things you typically enjoy
• Trouble focusing, loss of appetite, feelings of isolation
• Flare-ups from known mood disorders
• Change in conduct, hyperactivity or attention issues in children ages 16+

Our providers are equipped to provide short term prescriptions for behavioral health illnesses, with certain exceptions. Please call the site directly for more information.

Insurance coverage for behavioral health visits may vary. Please verify costs and coverage with your individual insurance carrier directly.

Patients with more serious symptoms or those in some level of crisis such as thoughts of suicide, trouble with drug or substance abuse or those who are experiencing delusional symptoms (unable to differentiate what is real versus imagined) will need to go to a Behavioral Health clinic, professional, or a local Emergency Room that is equipped for a higher level of behavioral health care. If you are experiencing any of the below, seek treatment in an Emergency Room.

• Thoughts of suicide or self-harm, or harming others
• Violent, erratic, or aggressive behavior
• Drug or substance withdrawal and detox
• Schizophrenia, Bi-Polar or personality disorders

Individuals 13 years and older; patients under 18 will need a parent or guardian to sign in and to either provide insurance coverage or self-pay.

No, we treat all individuals 13 and over who are seeking behavioral health support, excluding individuals who are at an immediate risk of harm to self or others; we strongly encourage those in imminent risk to call 911 or go directly to the Emergency Department.

Due to high demand and the need to provide immediate coverage to as many individuals as possible, we provide no more than 3 appointments, including initial intake. We will assist you with finding a psychiatric provider, but are unable to see patients on a long-term basis.

We accept most major private insurance companies, as well as Medicaid and Medicare. Anyone without insurance coverage may be seen but will be asked to pay prior to appointment via cash or credit card.

Initial intakes are $350, and follow-up appointments are $199.

All medication scripts are up to the discretion of the psychiatric prescriber for that shift. We cannot make any guarantees that all medications will be approved. Some medications may require further testing as determined by a medical professional.

Because withdrawal from drugs, alcohol, and other substances can be fatal, we strongly encourage you to go directly to the Emergency Department or to call 911. We can provide appropriate resources for inpatient and/or outpatient substance use treatment, but we do not provide treatment for those in active withdrawal.
