Home test – most situations

For most COVID-19 testing needs, home antigen tests are a quick and easy way to find out whether you have COVID-19. Kaiser Permanente offers a variety of ways to access this convenient testing option, at no cost to you.

Use a home antigen test at the first sign of symptoms. Visit kp.org/covidtests or a Kaiser Permanente pharmacy to get a test at no cost.

If you test positive with an at-home COVID-19 test, report your test results through the e-visit feature on kp.org/getcare as soon as possible and you will receive further instructions.

In-person tests – limited situations

PCR tests are used when directed by your doctor or when you’re required to show a negative PCR test to attend an event or activity. They may also be needed for international travel or in circumstances where self-tests are not an option, such as to prove a negative COVID-19 test.

In-person PCR tests are available by appointment only at our lab locations:

  • Fresno Medical Center – 7300 N. Fresno St.
  • Clovis Medical Offices – 2071 Herndon Ave.
  • Selma Medical Offices – 2651 Highland Ave.
  • Oakhurst Medical Offices – 40595 Westlake Dr.

Call 1-866-454-8855 or visit kp.org/evisits to schedule an appointment.

Preparing for your appointment: What to expect

  • If you are a Kaiser Permanente member, bring your member ID card and a photo ID.
  • Once you check in at the lab, you will be provided with a specimen collection kit and instructions for a self-collected specimen.
  • Test results will be available on kp.org and our mobile app within 12-24 hours. Results are automatically saved to your electronic health record. That means your care team knows you’ve been tested and can reach out to you with necessary information if you have COVID-19.
