COVID-19 FAQs

Is UCLA Health testing for COVID-19? UCLA Health COVID-19 testing continues at three drive-through testing sites, three specialized clinics and more than 65 primary care clinics to ensure we have capacity for symptomatic patients, symptomatic and exposed health care workers and pre-procedural and admission screening for patients. All primary care, pediatrics and immediate care clinics now offer testing, but you must have a telehealth appointment with a physician first. Steps for COVID-19 testing: Call your primary care physician to set up a video visit. Discuss your symptoms or exposures with the physician during this visit. Your physician will determine if you require a test order or recommend another plan of care. If a test is ordered, the physician will provide information on how to schedule the test. Visit your testing site at your scheduled time and complete the test. Test results available on myuclahealth.org within 24 hours. All patients who are admitted to UCLA Health through our emergency departments will also be tested for COVID-19, as will most patients undergoing a surgery or procedure in one of our hospitals or clinical facilities. If you are not a UCLA Health patient, LA County offers COVID-19 tests in many locations. See All FAQs about Coronavirus
