“Each week, our team is working diligently to meet the needs of our community and better serve individuals in need of testing,” said Aretha R. Jones-Powers, CEO of Fetter. “As a community health center, our mission is to offer accessible health care to everyone and our COVID-19 testing clinics have been carrying out that mission since March of this year.”
Individuals who have a known exposure to COVID-19 or are experiencing COVID-19 related symptoms can visit FetterCovid19Screening.org for more information. Due to an increased volume of tests being administered, patients are asked to be prepared to wait two to three hours for services and to employ social distancing and wear a face covering while waiting for testing.
Currently, tests are given with no out-of-pocket cost to patients. All insurance providers in South Carolina are covering the cost of COVID-19 testing. Patient insurance information will be processed in order to complete testing. No co-pays or deductibles are being charged. All patients will be served.
