The mobile testing program organized and staffed by the Whatcom County Health Department and Whatcom Unified Command will continue at all sites throughout the county during the week of August 30. Tests are available by appointment only.

Testing is available at the following sites and times:

Scheduling

You can schedule online at www.TestDirectly.com/whatcom or by calling (360) 778-6075 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily. Appointments for the following week will open each Saturday. We have also created an easy how-to guide if you are having trouble scheduling an appointment.

Anyone can get tested at no cost to them through the mobile testing program, including people without insurance or a physician referral.

• If you have insurance, you must provide insurance information for billing purposes when you schedule an appointment. People with insurance may be held responsible for the cost of a COVID-19 test if they do not provide their existing health insurance information.
• People without insurance can also be tested at no cost to them through a federal program that will reimburse the health department for all costs associated with the test.

While this program is designed to be a drive-through testing site, if you do not have access to a vehicle, accommodations will be made by calling (360) 778-6075. For assistance scheduling a test in a language other than English, language services are also available by calling (360) 778-6075.
