While I do not know 100% for sure, I am guessing different locations, states, etc. will use what is the most available. What one CVS uses in one area may not at all be what one uses in your area. Read some of the other posts about this as it has been discussed frequently when it comes to testing and types of tests.

How many Abbot antigen tests are there? - Two Abbot antigen tests are listed as acceptable now - "Abbott Panbio, the Abott BinaxNow" According to the Abbott website, their newest test, the BinaxNOW, is their sixth test. Cue our sixth COVID-19 test, the BinaxNOWâ„¢ COVID-19 Ag Card rapid antigen test, which has received emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This test offers results in 15 minutes and is available as an aid to diagnose the virus that causes COVID-19.

Twice now I have scheduled Covid tests through www.doineedacovid19test.com. It is the PCR test and I got the results in 48 hours. Once you register on the website it will tell you the locations in your area. The tests I got were not for travel but could have been used for that purpose. You do have to check "yes" on having at least one of the listed symptoms. Hope this helps someone.

Jenni: Same in Virginia - they will test for purposes of travel. Backend lab is LabCorp. One of our tests was turned around in 24 hours, the other one in 48 hours but they make no guarantee of turn-around time. They provided three reports - on sent to my LabCorp account, one sent to my MyChart account, and one sent to me via e-mail from CVS.
The LabCorp result report is below:
SARS-CoV-2, NAA Not Detected Not Detected 01
Testing was performed using the cobas(R) SARS-CoV-2 test. This nucleic acid amplification test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by LabCorp Laboratories. Nucleic acid amplification tests include PCR and TMA. This test has not been FDA cleared or approved. This test has been authorized by FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). This test is only authorized for the duration of time the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of in vitro diagnostic tests for detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 infection under section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3(b) (1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner.
When diagnostic testing is negative, the possibility of a false negative result should be considered in the context of a patient's recent exposures and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19. An individual without symptoms of COVID-19 and who is not shedding SARS-CoV-2 virus would expect to have a negative (not detected) result in this assay.
The report uploaded to my MyChart account had the same text with this additional header information:
SARS-COV-2 RNA, QL, RT PCR (COVID-19)
The report CVS sent me via e-mail also stated:
Test type SARS-COV-2 RNA, QL, RT PCR (COVID-19)
