The Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health COVID-19 Community Testing site will close as previously planned, on Friday, Feb. 25.
The site at the Lancaster County Public Safety Training Center, 101 Champ Blvd, Manheim, will be open this week 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, before ceasing operations.
It will continue to provide testing for symptomatic individuals, and asymptomatic individuals for COVID-19 exposure, travel, and return to work or school, all without a physician order. Pre-procedure testing is not available at this site. Testing is available for people age 3 and older.
“The COVID-19 Community Testing site is another example of how our community collaborates in time of need,” said Alice Yoder, LG Health Executive Director, Community Health. “The site is part of LG Health’s ongoing efforts to strengthen public access to COVID-19 testing and treatment for people who might be experiencing barriers to accessing testing services.”
The cash price for COVID-19 testing is $57.24. For patients with health insurance, LG Health will bill the patient’s insurance company. A patient’s final out-of-pocket cost will vary based on the specifics of their insurance coverage, coinsurance, copays or deductibles. For patients without health insurance, LG Health will assess the situation. Patients may be eligible for assistance with the cost of COVID-19 testing.
Appointments this week are recommended, but are not required. To expedite your visit, schedule in advance through the MyLGHealth app or by calling LG Health at 717-588-1515. Please do not call the Lancaster County Public Safety Training Center to schedule an appointment.
