Routine Testing

In most cases, we no longer require routine COVID-19 testing before procedures or hospital admission.

If you are being admitted to a Northwestern Medicine hospital, you may need COVID-19 testing if:

  • You have symptoms of COVID-19
  • You are being admitted to an inpatient Behavioral Health Unit

If you are having a procedure at a Northwestern Medicine facility, you may need COVID-19 testing if:

  • You were recently exposed to COVID-19
  • You have symptoms of COVID-19
  • You are a living donor or patient scheduled for any solid organ transplant, including heart, lung, liver, kidney and pancreas

Your physician may choose to order a COVID-19 test at any time.
