Frequently Asked Questions
If you have COVID-like symptoms or have been around someone with COVID-like symptoms, you should get a diagnostic test and stay away from others until you know your results.
Remember: you don’t have to feel sick to test positive for COVID-19. An estimated 40% of positive COVID-19 cases are either asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic. Those people are still able to pass COVID-19 to others, and the people they expose can have more severe symptoms.
So think about who you’ve been around and what exposure you may have had. If there’s any doubt, get tested.
You can also use the CDC’s symptom checker to help you make testing decisions.
In addition to the Maricopa County-supported sites listed above, the Arizona Department of Health Services has a list of about 300 testing locations listed at azdhs.gov/COVID19Testing or call the Arizona COVID-19 hotline at 844-542-8201.
All of our testing events listed in the calendar and map above are offered free to all community members, with no copays or financial burden for administering the test, regardless of insurance status. Anything listed under Other Testing Sites may be subject to a fee, but it is best to call those vendors ahead of time to verify.
Governor Ducey issued Executive Order 2020-07 which requires all Arizona-regulated insurers to cover COVID diagnostic testing from all qualified laboratories; waive all cost-sharing requirements related to COVID-19 diagnostic testing; and, cover telemedicine visits at a lower cost-sharing point for consumers than the same in-office service to encourage utilization of telemedicine for the duration of the state's public health emergency.
Two pieces of federal legislation — the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and the CARES Act — also stipulate public and private insurers fully pay for the cost of COVID-19 tests without passing costs along to patients. The FFCRA also covers testing for the uninsured through Medicaid with 100% federal financing.
Billing and eligibility criteria for testing vary by provider so it's best to check with the testing site or your health care provider ahead. You also can check with your insurer about your coverage.
