COVID Testing for CHA Patients

Where: 195 Canal Street, Malden
Hours: Monday - Friday, 8 am - 4 pm
Appointments: Yes. Please call your CHA Primary Care Center for an appointment.
Results: CHA patients will get results from your CHA primary care team within 2 days. Results will also be available in MyChart.
Other details:

• If coming by car, please keep windows rolled up.
• There is no age limit for children. But your child must be able to sit still and tolerate the nose swab inside the vehicle.
• Please bring a picture ID.
• Tests are provided regardless of insurance. If you have insurance, CHA will bill them for the test (you may get a statement showing this).
• COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2) viral testing is performed at our in-house CHA Laboratories. Outpatient testing is performed with nucleic acid amplification (NAAT) methods. For airline travel and other situations (schools, businesses, etc.) where COVID-19 molecular testing is required, this methodology is compliant with the most recent CDC guidelines. For specific questions or concerns regarding testing, please contact the Chief of Pathology (pathology@challiance.org).
