Scheduling COVID-19 Testing

Student Health Services can arrange COVID-19 testing for symptomatic students who meet screening criteria. 

While awaiting a test or test results, please stay isolated at home and do not go to class, work, or public places!

The cost of COVID-19 testing depends on if the student is insured or uninsured. Typically, insurance will cover the cost of the COVID-19 test if the test is ordered by a Student Health Services provider. Uninsured patients can expect to pay a $40 fee to be tested.  

Process Map for COVID-19 Testing 

1. Student contacts SHS and is scheduled for a telemedicine visit with a provider. 

2. Provider consults with patient and orders COVID-19 testing if testing is clinically indicated.

3. While in the telemedicine visit, Provider contacts the Health Sciences Center COVID-19 Testing Drive-thru to schedule when patient needs to arrive at the line to receive testing. The date and time of COVID-19 test is communicated to patient while patient is still in the telemedicine visit. Students without personal transportation will discuss options with their provider.

4. Student drives to the HSC COVID-19 Testing Drive-Thru at the time of their appointment. The HSC drive-thru is located on the north side (facing 4th st.) of the Health Sciences Center, between the newly built University Center and the original Health Sciences Center. Signage clearly marks the entrance of the line. 

5. COVID-19 test results will be communicated to the student by the ordering provider within 24 hours of testing. 

6. COVID-19 testing is billed to insurance for insured patients or billed to the student's Student Business Services account if the student is uninsured. The self-pay cost for COVID-19 testing is $40.
