Testing locations and cost information

Respiratory Centers

COVID-19 testing (screening and those with symptoms) is available for people age 3 months and older at the following HonorHealth respiratory centers:

You will not be charged for the test at the time it is administered. If you have health insurance, HonorHealth will bill your insurance. Your insurance will determine the amount you owe.

If you do not have health insurance, our billing department will work with you to determine the cost of getting tested.

Emergency Department

Please do not go to the emergency department for testing unless you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency. Emergency department visits will result in a charge for the emergency department as well as the charge for the test itself. Depending on your treatment, there may be additional charges.

Your insurance will determine what you will owe based on its policies concerning COVID-19 testing and emergency department visits.  If you do not have insurance, we offer prompt pay discounts and financial assistance (for qualified patients).

Test types

There are two main types of tests currently available:

  • A PCR test is used to determine if someone is currently infected with COVID-19
  • A serology test (also known as an antibody test) is used to determine if someone has been infected with COVID-19 recently or in the past

PCR test

Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:

  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Fever
  • Chills
  • Muscle pain
  • Sore throat
  • New loss of taste or smell

This list is not all possible symptoms. Other less common symptoms have been reported, including gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

If you are having life-threatening symptoms, call 9-1-1 or go to the emergency room.

Serology (antibody) test

HonorHealth is performing a limited number of antibody tests. At this time, the test must be ordered by your provider. We will update this page when antibody testing becomes more widely available.
