Detail About South Carolina Rapid Turnaround International Travel COVID-19 Testing
We offer two tests, A PCR test which is generally accepted around the world and is the standard COVID-19 test. The LAMP test is accepted many places (the EU, Korea, Japan, the USA and other places). The LAMP is significantly faster with the results in 30 minutes and the report emailed to you in about an hour.
We use a CDC approved supervised self collection method (mid-turbinate swab from both nostrils) that has been proven equivalent to all other approved collection methods and only requires inserting the swab 1 inch into the nose. DHEC uses an RT-PCR test method approved by the FDA.
Our collection method maintains strict social distancing throughout the whole process. From purchase, to collection to results, there is no human to human contact. At a hospital, however, a doctor or nurse has to break social distancing to collect the sample. Our sample is collected by you, while under medical observation to ensure everything is done correctly.
Our collection method (Supervised Mid-turbinate Self-collection) does not require a 6″ long swab to be stuck into your nose (the nasopharyngeal swab) that you see in the media. Our swab only goes in about 1″.
Insurance generally requires that you have symptoms or known exposure to COVID-19. So at facilities that bill insurance, a doctor must order a COVID-19 test and sometimes a telemedicine visit is required. If you don’t meet their requirements, they will not offer the test. All that costs money. At uMedMarket, we don’t require symptoms, a doctor’s order or a doctors visit. We believe if you want a test, you can decide for yourself to have it. uMedMarket’s mission is to put you in control of your healthcare decisions.
At a hospital, they often require symptoms in order to give you a COVID-19 test. At uMedMarket, we don’t require any symptoms. If you want a test, you can have it.

To purchase your COVID-19 test in Greenville, select the test type you’d like (PCR or LAMP). Read all the instructions and notes, then click the link to buy below the instructions. The form will ask when you want the collection done, it will ask for demographic information (birthday, address, race, gender, etc.) and you will enter your credit card information.

uMedMarket will not share your information except for South Carolina Public Health purposes. We will share your name, DOB, gender, address and phone number as required by the state. We will NOT share your information with anyone else.*
*Business customers may differ.
2. Be At The Testing Location At The Specified Time
At the day and time of your test, drive to the specified location within the window of time you chose. If you are late there is a chance we will leave and not be able to test you.
The test location will be listed in your confirmation email (different from your receipt). Testing occurs at 901 Grove Rd
Greenville, SC 29605
3. Go To The Open Drive-Through Lane And Stay In Your Car
Once you pull up, uMedMarket staff will ask your name, verify that we have all the right information and give you the test kit. The entire process will not require you to leave your car. This will help ensure proper social distancing.
*Business customers may have a slightly different collection experience
4. The COVID-19 Test Kit
The test kit we provide will include several things:
- A test tube (with a liquid inside) labeled with your name, DOB, order number, and date of collection. DON’T OPEN THE TUBE UNTIL AFTER THE NASAL SWAB IS COMPLETE!
- A swab for the collection.
You must verify that the tube label and demographic form are correct and match.

We will instruct and supervise your collection of the sample. Any questions about the test can be asked at that time. Watch the video below so you know what to expect.

7. Results Of COVID-19 Test
We will send your test results by email, usually before midnight. While we target same day turnaround with results by midnight, sometimes they can take longer. 95% of the time they are back by midnight, 5% of the time samples take up to 48 hours due to re-running of samples, high lab testing volume and/or catastrophic lab events.
Frequently Asked Questions
LightSpeed24 Ordering, Website, Results
RT-PCR, which is a type of PCR test.
It IS NOT an antigen or antibody test.
We will email you when they are available.
We typically see results before 11pm that same day. 98% of the time they are back by 11pm, 1.5% within 24 hours and 0.5% in about 36 hours (due to catastrophic lab issues). On rare occasions, samples have to be re-run. Re-runs typically come back the following day. While rare, it is out of our control and we take no responsibility for re-run delays.
The paperwork looks like one of these two reports.
We cannot change, modify or add to this paperwork beyond perhaps adding a passport number as a special request.
The paperwork shows that it is RT-PCR, the date/time of collection, the result, patient name and DOB, the lab’s CLIA number.
Visit this page, read the instructions then click “buy”. Then fill out the form for that test and pay. Once you purchase we will send you a calendar invite (it may take us a few hours because we do a custom one for each person) for your appointment. This invite includes the day, time and location of the test.
We do collections every morning, 7 days a week, between 6am and 8am. The lab only runs tests in the morning so collecting at 3pm would only mean the sample sits there for 18 hours doing nothing. Therefore we don’t do collections outside our morning window.
We will email you with how to download your results once they are available.
It will be a link to a HIPAA compliant Google Drive folder.
The state requires the demographic information for each person getting tested, so each person has to fill out the form with that information.
We can reschedule, just contact us. If you need to cancel and would like a refund, we can refund $170 (because it costs us $30 to send out refunds).
Yes it does. We are working 7 days per week.
We do! We need a parent/guardian to be present to administer the collection (we have doctors present to observe and instruct). We can do tests for any age.
Morning Of Testing
No. We only do the collections in the morning. You are welcome to sign up for tomorrow as long as it is before 8:00pm.
Nope! We use a collection method called a “mid-turbinate” collection. It is one of the four FDA approved collection methods. It only goes about 1″ into your nose, not the 6″ that the typical hospital swab (called nasopharyngeal) goes in. You do the collection yourself (this helps us maintain social distancing). This method is arguably better because you (the patient) doesn’t pull back and you’re able to collect more media from the patient.
Check out our video below for more details.
No. It is the viral test to see if you currently have COVID-19.
The location will be included in your calendar invite when you purchase. The address is 901 Grove Road, Greenville, SC 29605, a former drive-through bank.
We will be there at on open Drive-Through lane. Pull into the open lane and and we will start the process. Stay in your car the whole time, please.
The collection is called a mid-turbinate collection. We believe it can be more accurate than the nasopharyngeal because the patient doesn’t retract in pain. Mid-turbinate is one of the 4 recommended methods by the CDC.
The test itself is a RT-PCR test, which is a subset of PCR tests.
Yup! We recommend social distancing of course, but if you live with your family and are all getting tested, you can all come in one car!

Why Is uMedMarket Doing South Carolina Rapid Turnaround International Travel COVID-19 Testing?
South Carolina Rapid Turnaround International Travel COVID-19 Testing
At uMedMarket, we believe in bringing quality and convenient healthcare to as many people as possible at a competitive price. We do this primarily by enabling shopping for services like expensive lab tests, MRIs, CT scans and outpatient surgeries from independent providers that are working for you and not for insurance companies or hospitals. We bring costs down, raise quality and increase convenience by getting providers to compete for customers and by offering upfront payment when service is provided, avoiding billing and insurance overhead. This dramatically improves quality, convenience and value for all, so our providers can focus just on you and offer prices 30-70% less than hospital based providers. We find the best providers with the best service and the best value, then connect consumers with these independent providers.
For COVID-19, we believe that more testing is critical to reducing transmission of COVID-19. As countless healthcare experts and government officials have stated, more testing is critical. While we only break even with our standard $30 service, we want to do our part to fight the pandemic in America. We have partnered with DHEC for standard testing and private CLIA certified laboratories for travel testing to make testing available to everyone for any reason.
