Here Are The 3 Free COVID PCR Testing Vans On The Upper West Side
The mobile vans provide free COVID-19 PCR tests, three of which are stationed on the Upper West Side.
UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — It still isn't always the easiest to get a COVID-19 test in New York City, especially if you're looking to get a PCR test and not break the bank.
However, LabQ Diagnostics has done its part to make the testing process easier by offering free PCR testing from mobile vans across the city — including on the Upper West Side.
Insurance covers 100 percent of the LabQ Diagnostic COVID-19 tests with no co-pay or deductible, and if you don't have insurance you can still get a test with no cost to you.

Testing is done by either walk-ups or appointments, but LabQ suggests you schedule an appointment to save time. You can do that here.
Results are available in 24 to 48 hours, and you can access the results either through the LabQ Patient Portal or have them sent to your email address. If you don't have access to an email, you can call the patient center at 888-LabQ-247.
