Sarah Bush Lincoln is expanding COVID-19 drive-thru testing for non-symptomatic individuals in three other communities starting next week.

Testing will be available:
SBL Tuscola Clinic – noon to 5 pm, Wednesday, May 20
SBL Newton Clinic – noon to 5 pm, Thursday, May 21
SBL Bonutti Clinic, Effingham – noon to 6 pm, Friday, May 22

Those interested in being tested will first call 217 258-7490 to pre-register. Participants can arrive any time during the day. There is no out-of-pocket cost for the $95 test. The participant’s health insurance or the CARES Act will be billed for the service.

Pre-register from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
People coming for testing should follow the signage when pulling into the parking lot. They will be tested inside their vehicles.

It generally takes 24 hours for SBL to receive the results. People who test positive for COVID-19 will receive a telephone call, while those who test negative will receive a letter in the US Mail. Please refrain from calling for your results. All test resulting is coordinated through one area in the Health Center, which is currently inundated with sorting test results. This is not an antibody test.

Testing continues at the Sarah Bush Lincoln campus, people with last names beginning with A to M can come anytime from 8 am to 5 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, while people with last names beginning with N to Z can come anytime from 8 am to 5 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Any pre-registered person can come from 8 to 5 pm on Fridays. People coming for testing should arrive from the Loxa Road entrance and exit the same way. Please follow the signage.
