Testing for COVID-19
Northwestern Medicine Testing Locations
Last updated: January 4, 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:
- Call your physician’s scheduling number to determine if a COVID-19 test is needed
- Sign into your MyNM account and click on Health > COVID-19 Testing, or visit myc.nm.org/MyChart/SymptomChecker and follow the instructions
We are currently experiencing high demand for COVID-19 testing. Please check the hours of each site as they may vary by location. We are also unable to perform tests at outdoor locations after dark.
