It is always a good idea to have at least a couple of self-test kits on hand as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. To get the most accurate results, at-home rapid testing is best advised on your first and third day of COVID-like symptoms (i.e. cough, fatigue, muscle or body aches, sore throat, congestion, etc.). On days 1-3 of symptoms, you should be limiting your exposure to other people as much as possible and wearing a mask at all times around others.
Questions about COVID testing can be directed to the Health Center via phone (503.943.7134) or email (hcc@up.edu).
The University of Portland is no longer providing free self-test kits to students, staff, or faculty. Students can call to make a COVID testing appointment at the Health Center at 503.943.7134. The cost of testing will be charged to the student's private insurance.
Effective 5/12/2023, private insurance companies are no longer required to cover the cost of self-test kits for their members.
The Health Center at UP is unable to answer questions regarding your specific insurance coverage for COVID tests. Please contact your health insurance provider using the customer/member services phone number on your insurance card for questions about your coverage. Coverage for COVID testing is subject to change at the discretion of each insurance provider.
