Beginning Friday, May 15th the Inova Fairfax Medical Campus’ OB-ED/ OB Triage will be completing COVID-19 advanced testing for scheduled c-sections and inductions. Patients will not receive an OBED charge for this service. Please note that the hospital will continue to complete “rapid” testing for walk-ins/unscheduled laboring patients.
- Location for COVID-19 Testing: OB-ED/OB Triage (ground floor of Women’s Hospital)
- When: EVERYDAY 9am- 4pm (no appointment needed); see below for specific day to be tested
- How: Patients will first be registered at the front desk in the lobby (located on ground floor, in front of OB-ED/OB Triage). **No visitors are allowed. The support person can wait outside of the hospital or in their car.**
- If you were given a paper “prescription” order for the testing in the office, please take it with you.
- All patients are advised to self quarantine after the test is completed.
