Yes. No insurance, no appointment, no referral, no registration fee. Walk in Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM. One swab covers flu A/B, SARS-CoV-2 and RSV, run in-house with a molecular result the same afternoon — in time for the 48-hour antiviral window that a mailed-out test would miss entirely.

What you are comparing

OptionWhat it gives you
Home antigen testCheap; a positive is useful, a negative early is not
Urgent careVisit fee + rapid test; false negatives early
Emergency departmentVery expensive; correct if you are struggling to breathe
Auspicious LaboratoryMultiplex molecular PCR, same day; partner-network physician the same evening

The costly outcome is not the test. It is the missed antiviral window in a high-risk patient.

Why no price list

Because the right panel depends on your symptoms and risk. Text (713) 832-8892 and we will tell you what your situation costs before you come in.

Go to an emergency department, not a lab, if you have: shortness of breath at rest, chest pain or pressure, blue lips, confusion, or a child breathing fast, grunting, or pulling in at the ribs.
Why same-day matters in respiratory illness. Influenza antivirals work best within 48 hours of onset. Swab by 1:00 PM → result at 4:30 PM → licensed physician (partner network) 4:30–6:00 PM. Two stops, both the same day.
