Here Is The Free COVID-19 PCR Testing Van In Washington Heights

The mobile vans provide free COVID-19 PCR tests, one of which is stationed in Washington Heights.

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, 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 in Washington Heights.

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.

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.
