No‐cost COVID-19 testing in your community

Yes, all tests must be scheduled. Every individual must call the testing location directly to make an appointment.

Appointments are available every 15 minutes during each location's hours of operation. See the testing site details above for location addresses and hours of operation.

Yes, you don't need a vehicle. You can walk up to receive your test at your scheduled time.

Yes, rapid‐result testing is generally returned in person within 30 minutes of specimen collection.

You will be given a swab and asked to collect a sample of nasal secretions. This is done by inserting the swab approximately 1 inch into the nasal passage (midway) with the more visible drainage or the nostril that is more congested if drainage is not present. The swab is rotated several times and removed gently, and this process is repeated on the other side. Please note that you must administer your own swab to test. Testing-site colleagues do not administer the self-swab test.

MinuteClinic® offers point of care testing, which tests for active infections only. We do not administer antibody tests, which indicate whether the patient has been infected in the past.

No‐cost drive‐thru testing is available at select CVS Pharmacy locations. See if there is a testing location near you. If there is not a location near you, we recommend contacting your primary care provider or your state's Department of Health to find out how to get tested in your state.

You are required to provide, at a minimum, your first name, last name, date of birth, address, phone number, race and ethnicity.

Patients will not have any out‐of‐pocket costs and insurance is currently not needed.

We understand that bringing children or other family members to your COVID-19 testing appointment may be necessary. However, only patients who are at least 12 and have qualified for and scheduled a visit can be tested. A parent or legal guardian must complete the registration for all minor patients, and patients 12 to 15 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian when they come to be tested.
