COVID-19 testing was first rolled out to Hy-Vee pharmacies first in August and expanded in October. Testing is now available at 165 Hy-Vee drive-thru pharmacy locations­. Each pharmacy location can accommodate up to 12 patients per hour.

The COVID-19 tests and test results are coordinated by eTrueNorth. The tests are free and are administered via a Hy-Vee pharmacy drive-thru testing process. Individuals do not need to exhibit COVID-19 symptoms to be tested, but they must register online to receive a test voucher number, testing site and appointment time.

Testing hours have also expanded at select Hy-Vee pharmacy locations. The list of locations and expanded testing times can be found below. Testing times vary by location, so patients should visit www.doineedacovid19test.com to find available testing appointments for their location.

To register for a test voucher number, visit www.doineedacovid19test.com. Each patient will need to answer the questions and provide requested information in order to receive a test voucher number, testing site location and appointment time. The patient will then arrive at the specified test site pharmacy drive-thru with either a printed voucher number or show the voucher number on their phone before given a test kit. The Hy-Vee pharmacy employee will provide the test kit, provide instructions on how to self-administer the test and supervise the administration of the test. The patient will then drop off their completed kit in a collection bin.

The entire test process takes about five minutes. From there, the Hy-Vee pharmacy collects all tests, which are shipped to a lab via the United Parcel Service (UPS). Results will then be sent to the patient by email in three to five business days.
