UTI, vaginal health & STI testing.
Get fast answers.
Lab-grade UTI, vaginal microbiome and STI testing you collect at home — read by our CLIA-certified, COMAR-accredited lab right here in Germantown, MD — on the Montgomery College campus. Mail it back, or drop your sample at the lab the same day. $99 — or $199 for all three in one test. No appointment, no insurance, nothing on your record.
Three panels. Flat pricing.
Most women don't fit neatly into one box — UTI symptoms, BV and STIs overlap constantly, and a culture only looks for what it was told to look for. Every panel here uses quantitative real-time PCR, so slow-growing and hard-to-culture organisms still show up.
The cost of not testing
Population figures come from public health sources and are educational, not a diagnosis.

What it actually costs to find out
Most people pay two to twenty-five times more, wait just as long, and still get a culture that can miss the organism.
Urgent care: self-pay UTI visits typically run $150–$300, including the facility fee and urinalysis (Solv Health, 2026 price guide; Doctronic, 2026). Emergency room: the national average charge for UTI treatment in the ER is $2,474 without insurance and $2,215 with insurance (Goodbill hospital price analysis). Costs vary by facility, region and services rendered.
A culture can come back clean and still be wrong.
Many clinically relevant organisms are slow-growing, fastidious, or difficult to culture. qPCR detects their genetic material directly.
Quantitative results show how much of an organism is present — useful when several are found at once.
Nine antibiotic resistance markers on the UTI panel help your provider choose a treatment likely to work, instead of guessing and repeating.
Four steps, start to answer
No clinic visit at any point unless you want one.
Pick your panel and check out in about two minutes. A licensed physician reviews and orders your test.
Plain, unmarked packaging with step-by-step instructions. Nothing on the box says what's inside.
Self-collection takes a few minutes. Drop it at any FedEx location with the prepaid overnight label included.
A CLIA/CAP clinical summary lands in your secure portal. Optional provider consult available for $199.
A report you can actually read — and hand to any provider.
Every organism we detect is listed by name with how much of it was found, in plain language, next to the clinical detail your provider needs.
Questions people actually ask
Is this as accurate as a test at a clinic?+
Your sample is processed by a CLIA-certified, COMAR-accredited laboratory using quantitative real-time PCR — the same molecular method used in hospital laboratories. Self-collection is validated for these panels; the instructions walk you through it.
How long until I get results?+
Typically a few business days from the day your sample reaches the lab. You'll get a notification the moment your report is ready.
What happens if something comes back positive?+
Your report includes a CLIA/CAP clinical summary you can bring to any provider. You can also book a consult with a healthcare provider through PMC for $199 to review results and discuss next steps.
Will this show up on my insurance or my parents' plan?+
No. You pay PMC directly, so no claim is submitted and no explanation of benefits is generated. Packaging is unmarked in both directions.
Do I need a doctor to order it?+
No. A licensed physician in our network reviews and places the order as part of checkout, at no extra cost.
Which panel should I choose?+
If your symptoms are urinary, start with UTI + Resistance. If you want STI screening after a possible exposure, choose the STI Panel. If symptoms are unclear or overlapping, the Vaginal Microbiota panel covers vaginal, urinary and sexually transmitted causes in one test.
