In order to ensure local testing centers are not overwhelmed and tests are readily available to those who need them, all testing centers are operating under a referral only policy. This means a written physician or provider order from either an in-person consult or a telemedicine encounter is required. Please contact your primary care provider to determine if testing is recommended.
If you do not have a primary care provider, please contact Northern Arizona Healthcare Medical Group - Flagstaff at 928-913-8800 for a Same Day Sick evaluation or Camp Verde Immediate Care at 928-639-5555.

Testing tiers
As Northern Arizona Healthcare continues to help prevent the further spread of COVID-19 within our communities, collection of patient specimens to be tested is dependent on availability of supplies. Collection supplies are in high demand and the available amount varies day to day.
We are currently testing Tiers 1, 2, 3 and 4 at NAH facilities. Collection sites operated by Coconino County may be testing for different tiers than Northern Arizona Healthcare.
Tier 1 – Critically ill patients
- Critically ill patients receiving critical-care level services with unexplained viral pneumonia or respiratory failure, regardless of travel history or close contact with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients.
- Residents of a Long Term Care facility with fever or signs/symptoms of a lower respiratory tract illness regardless of need for hospitalization.
Tier 2 – Hospitalized patients suspected of having COVID-19
- Patients requiring non-critical care hospitalization with unexplained viral pneumonia or respiratory failure.
- People critical to the pandemic response, including healthcare workers with direct patient care responsibilities, with fever or signs/symptoms of a lower respiratory tract illness.
Tier 3 – Not hospitalized but displaying symptoms and at higher risk
- Patients in outpatient settings, such as clinics, Immediate Care, drive-up collection sites or the Emergency Department, who have fever or signs/symptoms of a lower respiratory tract illness and co-morbid conditions, such as diabetes, COPD, congestive heart failure, older than 50, immunocompromised hosts, among others, but not requiring hospitalization.
- Pregnant women who have fever or signs/symptoms of a lower respiratory tract illness, not requiring hospitalization.
- People younger than 18 with risk factors for complications – such as immunosuppression, chronic heart and lung disease, etc. – who have fever or signs/symptoms of a lower respiratory tract illness, and do not requiring hospitalization.
