Diagnostic Testing

COVID, Flu, Strep & RSV
Rapid Testing.

Walk-in rapid and PCR testing for COVID-19, influenza A/B, strep throat, and RSV at TrufaMED Urgent Care in Surfside, FL. Results in minutes — no appointment needed.

About This Service

Same-Day Respiratory
Illness Testing.

When cold and flu symptoms hit, knowing exactly what you are dealing with changes everything — from the treatment your provider prescribes to how long you should stay home from work or school. At TrufaMED, our CLIA-certified on-site laboratory performs rapid diagnostic testing for the four most common respiratory infections: COVID-19, influenza A and B, strep throat (Group A Streptococcus), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

Our rapid antigen tests deliver results in as little as 10 to 15 minutes, allowing your provider to make an accurate diagnosis and start appropriate treatment during the same visit. For situations requiring higher sensitivity — such as travel clearance, return-to-work documentation, or pre-procedural screening — we also offer PCR testing with results typically available within 24 to 48 hours.

All testing is ordered and interpreted by board-certified physicians. Unlike standalone testing sites that simply report results, TrufaMED provides a complete clinical evaluation: your provider assesses your symptoms, performs the appropriate tests, explains your results, and prescribes treatment if needed — all in one visit. If your condition requires additional intervention such as IV hydration therapy for dehydration or on-site digital X-rays to rule out pneumonia, those services are available immediately without a referral or separate appointment.

When to Get Tested

Symptoms That Warrant
Testing.

01

Fever & Body Aches

Sudden onset of fever above 100.4°F accompanied by muscle aches, chills, and fatigue — hallmark signs of influenza or COVID-19 that benefit from rapid confirmation.

02

Sore Throat Without Cough

A severe sore throat with painful swallowing, swollen lymph nodes, and fever but no significant cough or congestion often points to strep throat, which requires antibiotic treatment.

03

Cough & Congestion

Persistent cough, nasal congestion, wheezing, or shortness of breath — especially in young children or older adults — may indicate RSV or influenza requiring specific management.

04

Travel or Work Clearance

Many employers, schools, and travel destinations require negative COVID or flu test documentation. TrufaMED provides rapid and PCR testing with official results you can use for clearance.

05

Exposure to Illness

If a household member, coworker, or classmate has tested positive for COVID, flu, or strep, getting tested — even before symptoms appear — helps prevent further spread and enables early treatment.

06

Worsening or Returning Symptoms

Symptoms that improve then suddenly worsen can signal a secondary bacterial infection or a different pathogen. Re-testing identifies the cause so your provider can adjust treatment accordingly.

Testing Details

What to Expect During
Your Visit.

When you arrive at TrufaMED for respiratory illness testing, our team moves quickly because we understand you feel terrible and want answers fast. After a brief check-in, a medical provider evaluates your symptoms, medical history, and exposure risk to determine which tests are appropriate. Most patients receive a combination of rapid antigen and clinical evaluation.

For COVID-19, we use nasal swab rapid antigen tests that deliver results in approximately 15 minutes. Influenza A/B testing uses a similar nasal swab with comparable turnaround time. Strep testing involves a quick throat swab — slightly uncomfortable but over in seconds — with results in 10 to 15 minutes. RSV testing is performed via nasal swab, particularly important for children under 5 and adults over 65 who face higher complication risks.

If your rapid test is positive for influenza and you are within the first 48 hours of symptom onset, your provider may prescribe antiviral medication such as oseltamivir (Tamiflu) to reduce the severity and duration of your illness. Positive strep results prompt immediate antibiotic prescription. COVID-19 positive patients receive guidance on isolation protocols, symptom management, and when to seek additional care. For patients experiencing dehydration from fever or vomiting, our in-clinic IV therapy provides rapid rehydration — or our mobile IV service can come to you at home during recovery.

TrufaMED is Florida's only Joint Commission-accredited urgent care facility, and our CLIA-certified laboratory meets the same quality standards required of hospital labs. Whether you need a rapid test for peace of mind or a PCR for official documentation, you can trust the accuracy and reliability of your results.

Rapid COVID Test Near Me in Miami.

Searching for a rapid COVID test near me, flu test near me, strep test near me, or RSV test near me in Miami? TrufaMED Urgent Care offers walk-in same-day respiratory panel testing at 9445 Harding Ave, Surfside, FL — 7 days a week, 9 AM–9 PM weekdays. No appointment required. Serving Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, Sunny Isles Beach, Bay Harbor Islands, Aventura, and Downtown Miami.

What we test on-site: rapid COVID-19 antigen (results in 15 minutes), COVID-19 PCR (high-sensitivity, same-day or next-day results depending on panel), influenza A/B rapid antigen, group A strep throat swab, and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) — important for infants, young children, older adults, and anyone with chronic lung or heart conditions.

Combined respiratory panel: if you have fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, or shortness of breath and aren't sure which virus is causing it, our physicians can run a single 4-in-1 panel that simultaneously tests for COVID, flu A/B, strep, and RSV. This saves time and gives your provider the fastest path to the right treatment — antivirals (Paxlovid, Tamiflu), antibiotics (for strep only), or supportive care.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

How fast will I get my test results?

+
Rapid antigen tests for COVID-19, flu A/B, strep, and RSV deliver results in 10 to 15 minutes during your visit. PCR tests, which offer higher sensitivity, typically return results within 24 to 48 hours. Your provider will recommend the appropriate test type based on your symptoms and needs.

Do I need an appointment for testing?

+
No appointment is necessary. TrufaMED accepts walk-ins seven days a week for all rapid and PCR testing. You can also book online in advance if you prefer a specific time to minimize your wait.

Does insurance cover COVID and flu testing?

+
Most major insurance plans cover diagnostic testing for COVID-19, influenza, strep, and RSV when ordered by a physician based on symptoms or exposure. Self-pay options are also available with transparent pricing. Our front desk team can verify your benefits before testing.

Can I get a COVID test for travel purposes?

+
Yes. TrufaMED provides both rapid antigen and PCR COVID testing for travel documentation. We can provide official test result letters that meet most airline and international travel requirements. Let our staff know your travel date so we can recommend the right test timing.

What is the difference between rapid and PCR testing?

+
Rapid antigen tests detect viral proteins and provide results in minutes, making them ideal for immediate clinical decisions. PCR tests detect viral genetic material and are more sensitive, meaning they can identify infections earlier or at lower viral loads. PCR results take longer but are often required for travel, work clearance, or pre-surgical screening.

Do you test children for COVID, flu, and strep?

+
Absolutely. TrufaMED provides pediatric testing for children of all ages. Our team is experienced in performing quick, gentle swab tests on younger patients. RSV testing is particularly important for infants and toddlers, as RSV can cause serious respiratory complications in young children.
