* If you are not a UC San Diego Health patient, we cannot guarantee that your insurance will cover testing with us. In these cases, you may receive a bill and will be responsible for any services not covered by your insurance. If you don't have health insurance, consider COVID-19 testing through San Diego County.

For COVID-19 test with or without a travel form: Choose a location below, click the "Save my Spot" link and select the type of visit you want to schedule: "Covid Test" or "Covid Test with Travel Forms." Then choose a date and time from a list of appointment openings.

For provider evaluation: If you have COVID-19 symptoms and want to see a provider for evaluation, choose a location below and select "Express Care Walk-In" for the type of visit. Then choose a date and time for your appointment.
