Information about COVID-19 testing being done by OptumServe in Nevada & Placer counties.

7/6/22
LHI has made changes to the OptumServe testing website appointment setting platform LHI.Care. It now only allows people to register online for Rapid Antigen appointments at the OptumServe testing sites. However, the testing sites will still be performing both Rapid Antigen and PCR tests. If you want a PCR test, you can make an appointment online for a Rapid Antigen test and when you arrive at the testing site, tell them you would like a PCR test. Both tests are also available on a walk-in basis.
  • Notification of results will go by email or text.
  • Individuals who are symptomatic and test negative on antigen will be recommended to have a PCR test.
  • Sites will continue to offer PCR lab-based tests for residents who would still like this option for travel/surgery/confirmatory purposes but they are available on a walk-in basis only.
See many testing locations on State of CA site at https://www.arcgis.com/apps/Nearby/index.html?appid=43118dc0d5d348d8ab20a81967a15401

Testing is free. If you don't have insurance, or if your insurance company doesn't cover the test, the State of California will pay the cost.* There is no limit to the number of tests a person can get.

Minimum age for testing
OptumServe says that testing for children under the age of 1 is NOT recommended. For children 1 year or older, the parent just needs to make a separate profile for the child(ren).
