Edited to add: my health insurance is BC/BS, so should be Regence-equivalent, I think.
No problem...I have Kaiser so I just emailed my PCP who ordered the test for me (no specific appointment needed). I went to the clinic, checked-in, waited 10-15 min. for them to call me to tell me they were ready, then went to an outside tent next to the building to get tested. I had my results by the next morning at the latest for zero cost (to me).
