UPDATES FOR COVID TESTING FOR UNINSURED AND INSURED LA COUNTY RESIDENTS
Uninsured resident in LA County will continue to have access to free COVID-19 testing. Uninsured residents should not hesitate to go and get tested if they have symptoms or feel they have been exposed. COVID-19 testing for uninsured residents is still accessible in LA County. Free testing for those who are uninsured can still be found at covid19.lacounty.gov/testing/
For LA County residents who do have health care insurance, they will now need to obtain testing from their primary health care provider. In cases, when their health care provider cannot provide a test, some sites listed at covid19.lacounty.gov/testing/ will provide them with a COVID-19 test as long as they present their current health care insurance information.
LA County residents who do not have a doctor should call 211 to get connected to primary care.
