COVID-19 Testing
How to Get Tested for COVID-19
If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms including fever, cough and shortness of breath, call your healthcare provider who will determine if a COVID-19 test is needed. Your provider could order a COVID-19 test or recommend a different course of treatment based on their evaluation of your symptoms.
Do I need a provider’s order for COVID-19 testing?
Yes, you need an order from a provider. Call your primary care provider to discuss if testing may be an option for you. Your provider may order a COVID-19 test or recommend another course of treatment based on your symptoms.
If you do not have a provider and are experiencing symptoms, you may conduct an online video visit using Penn Medicine OnDemand. Start your visit at LGHealth.org/OnDemand. You may also call one of our Urgent Care locations to determine if an assessment is appropriate for you.
I heard that other organizations, not part of LG Health, are testing people without symptoms of COVID-19. Is this true?
Yes, this is true. In special situations, people without symptoms of COVID-19 may be tested. This is known as asymptomatic testing.
Due to the limited supply of tests, the LG Health testing sites only offer testing for 2 groups of people:
- People with symptoms of COVID-19 who have a provider’s order for the test.
- People who are having an upcoming procedure or surgery, who have a provider’s order for the test.
Once I get an order from a provider, where should I go for a test?
We offer a number of testing locations. Your provider will give you instructions on where to get tested.
Is there a cost for COVID-19 testing at LG Health?
During this time, we are extending a zero dollar ($0.00) patient responsibility for COVID-19 screening tests. This means that you will have $0.00 out-of-pocket costs for COVID-19 screening.
