POCATELLO — Express Lab, Idaho State University and Southeastern Idaho Public Health will be moving the location of their drive-thru COVID-19 testing site from its current location of the Eames Complex to the new location of Express Lab, 444 Hospital Way Building 100, Suite 224, on April 4. To prepare for the move, the current testing site will close at 1 p.m. on April 1 and will resume normal operation hours (Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) on April 4.

To be tested at Express Lab, simply drive up to the collection site and follow the instructions on the sign. Someone will come out to your car, and you will need to present your photo ID and insurance card to them. Once the registration process is complete, a sample will be collected and you will be on your way. Test results will be uploaded to Express Lab’s online portal. Testing is covered by most insurance companies.

For people who do not have insurance and are symptomatic or have had contact to a confirmed case, Southeastern Idaho Public Health will cover the cost of the test. Southeastern Idaho Public Health will not cover the cost of traveling for testing.
