Capital Region Medical Center Opens COVID-19 Mobile Testing Site

JEFFERSON CITY, MO – Beginning Tuesday, March 24 Capital Region Medical Center will offer drive thru testing to patients who have a physician’s order to be tested for COVID-19. The testing site is located on the south side of Capital Region Physicians – Primary Care Clinic located at 1014 Madison Street.

A physicians order is required to obtain testing and only tests for COVID-19 will be given. If you feel you may need to be tested for COVID-19 and have symptoms consistent with the disease (dry cough, fever and/or known contact with someone who has tested positive), please call your primary care physician.

If you do not have a primary care provider, please call CRMC's COVID-19 triage line at 833-763-0444 to be screened.

The hours will be from 7:00 am – 7:00 pm.

Capital Region Medical Center’s mobile testing site was made possible through its affiliation with MU Health Care. MU Health Care offered its incident command trailer and supplies.

Those presenting at the site without an order will not be screened, but will be provided information on how to be screened to obtain a physicians’ order.
