COVID-19 Testing

Trinity County is transitioning COVID-19 testing from Verily to OptumServe. In order to increase the availability of testing for COVID-19, the State of California has partnered with OptumServe to provide California communities with COVID-19 testing sites. COVID-19 testing will be provided on Saturdays from 8:00AM to 4:00PM beginning March 6, 2021 at the Trinity County Library in Weaverville. These are walk-in clinics, not drive-thru, and by Appointment Only.

Out of Pocket Cost / Insurance Information

OptumServe testing is free to individuals, regardless of insurance status. There is no out-of-pocket cost for COVID testing. For those with health insurance, your health plan is required to pay for approved COVID-19 tests. By providing your insurance information, the cost of testing will be reimbursed by your health insurance plan. Insurance companies cannot bill you or charge any co-payments for COVID-19 tests. The test is no cost or “free” to you.

Who can get tested?

Anyone who meets the testing criteria can be tested at an OptumServe community testing site, including uninsured, underinsured, undocumented and homeless individuals. Minors under the age of 13 must be registered for testing by a parent or guardian. Minors between the ages of 13 and 17 can register themselves for testing at https://lhi.care/covidtesting and receive notification of testing results.

How do I get my test results?

It typically takes 3-5 days to receive test results. OptumServe will provide notification by email, text or phone. It is very important to provide accurate and complete information when registering since this is what OptumServe uses to contact you with your results.

OptumServe calls patients that test positive and gives them instructions to isolate. OptumServe also sends a text notifying the patient that they have test results and prompts them to log into their patient profile in the OptumServe portal.

Who has access to my test results?

OptumServe sends the patient’s nasal swab specimen to the laboratory, which processes the test, determines and generates the result (positive or negative) and then sends the test result to the California Reportable Disease Information Exchange (CalREDIE), a statewide public health database. The Local Health Department where the patient resides is also notified of the test results. The Local Health Department staff has access to this data.

Additional Testing Options

In order to make COVID-19 testing more widely available in Trinity County, county staff will be making Let’s Get Checked COVID-19 (self-administered) test kits available at locations around the county. Let’s Get Checked test kits require a gentle lower nasal swab. Samples are returned to the lab via UPS, and test results are delivered via email typically within 24-72 hours. County staff are available to assist with registration and kit activation and will transport samples to a UPS drop off location as requested during scheduled locations and times.
