UPMC Urgent Care: Caring for You During COVID-19

Sometimes, your care can’t wait.

At UPMC Urgent Care, we are committed to providing our communities with the safe in-person care they need when they need it most. Walk right in, as no appointment is needed.

The safety of our patients remains our top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 Testing at UPMC Urgent Care

COVID-19 testing is available – with or without a referral or written order from a medical provider.

UPMC Urgent Care will honor a prescription for PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing from a UPMC provider for patients with or without COVID-19 symptoms or for patients who are pre-procedure. “Asymptomatic” are patients without COVID-19 symptoms. “Symptomatic” patients are patient with COVID-19 symptoms.

Antigen testing, sometimes referred to as a “rapid test,” is limited to patients who are between age two (2) and 40. Patients outside of that age range can be tested via PCR. Medical referrals for a rapid antigen test are not accepted. For a rapid antigen test, a patient must be seen at the Urgent Care office by an Urgent Care provider.

COVID-19 Test Without a Written Referral or Written Order

Patients who do not have a medical referral may request an evaluation. Based on the outcome of that evaluation, UPMC Urgent Care providers may order a COVID-19 test. Medical evaluations are provided for ‘walk-in’ patients only during regular business hours.
