Testing for COVID-19

Northwestern Medicine Testing Locations

Last updated: September 2, 2021

A Northwestern Medicine physician’s order is required for all COVID-19 tests.

If you do not have an order for testing, contact your Northwestern Medicine physician or schedule a telehealth visit at a Northwestern Medicine Immediate Care Center to determine if a COVID-19 test is needed.

If you have a Northwestern Medical Group or Northwestern Medicine Regional Medical Group primary care physician and are seeking a COVID-19 test, you have two ways to request a test order:

• Sign into your MyNM account and click on Health > COVID-19 Testing, or visit myc.nm.org/MyChart/SymptomChecker and follow the instructions
• Call your physician’s scheduling number to determine if a COVID-19 test is needed

We are currently experiencing high demand for COVID-19 testing. Please check the hours of each site as they may vary by location.
