Start with the symptoms checker

Check your symptoms using a chat box on the Dignity Health National website. Click on the blue chat box in the bottom right corner, and get a referral to a local care center.

 Call your primary care physician

Before going to the hospital, contact your primary care physician for guidance. They may be able to direct you to a local testing site and help you avoid waiting in the emergency room.

 Choose virtual care

We encourage you to consider virtual visits (via phone or video chat) instead of in-person visits, whether you have coronavirus symptoms or not. Meet with one of our doctors from anywhere, right on your device. Find a provider that offers video visits.

Our health care providers are in constant communication with local health officials on coronavirus testing. Some of our divisions are offering drive-thru testing services, or outpatient clinics for testing. Check with your health care provider for details.

A test is required in advance of any procedure scheduled in the hospital. Check with your physician’s office if you have questions.  Learn more about how we are resuming services.

Additional information on testing is available through the CDC website.

Test pricing

In accordance with provisions in the CARES Act, the “cash” price for COVID-19 testing is available here. The actual price a patient may pay will likely be lower, as this price does not take into account insurance coverage or financial assistance a patient may be eligible for. Where testing is available at our own facilities it can typically be provided at a reduced cost. If in-house testing is not available, testing may be performed by an outside lab which sets the price for its test. These cash prices are only for the COVID-19 diagnostic testing itself and are not inclusive of the diagnosis and/or treatment of other medical conditions. Charges are continually reviewed and subject to change.

Anyone experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of coronavirus is eligible for a virtual health. You can also see a doctor for well care.

Visitor restrictions are currently in place at all St. Rose Dominican hospitals.

About coronavirus

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. COVID-19 is now spreading in many parts of the United States. The virus can spread through close contact with someone who is already infected.

Symptoms

Patients with COVID-19 have mild to severe respiratory symptoms that can include fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath. Use our online symptoms checker by clicking the orange chat box in the lower right corner.

Social distancing

Certain behavior changes can help prevent the spread of coronavirus in our communities. Many states have implemented orders asking people to stay home and restricting large gatherings, and people are encouraged to practice “social distancing” by avoiding crowds and remaining 6 feet apart from each other while in public places.

Here are a few additional actions you can take to help prevent the spread of COVID-19:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol if soap and water are not available.
• Practice social distancing, by avoiding crowds and remaining 6 feet apart from each other while in public places.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces like countertops, door handles, faucets, and phones.
• Stay home if you are sick.
• If you need medical care and have COVID-19 symptoms, call ahead first.
