How to get a COVID-19 Test
Patients have the following options for being tested for COVID-19.
- Call their primary care provider’s office. Patients should call their provider’s office. A nurse will ask a few questions to determine if testing is appropriate and, if so, schedule the test.
- Visit FastCare®. Patients can visit FastCare® for a standard walk-in appointment with a provider. If the provider determines testing is appropriate, it will be done at that time.
Patients who are only seen in the Asthma & Allergy department or in obstetrics, should call that department to speak with a nurse. The nurse will determine if testing is appropriate and schedule the patient for a test
For patients without a primary care provider, they should contact the messaging center at 507.292.7070.
