From covecareservices.com/services/pregnancy-testing ↗About this program
Get a no-cost, medical-grade urine pregnancy test and review the result with a registered nurse. You will also receive certified documentation that you can take to a healthcare provider or use when applying for Medicaid.
Cove Care provides a medical-grade urine pregnancy test. The test detects human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG, a hormone produced by the developing placenta after implantation. This type of test provides a positive or negative result. It does not measure the amount of hCG in your body.
Your appointment includes a medical-grade urine pregnancy test, a registered nurse who will review the result with you, certified documentation of your result, confidential services as allowed by law, and no bill for your appointment. You can schedule testing after a positive, negative, or uncertain home test. You can also come to Cove Care without taking a home test first.
At the appointment, you will provide a urine sample. Once the test is complete, a registered nurse will review the result with you and explain whether additional testing or medical follow-up may be appropriate. There is also time to ask questions about the result itself.
Cove Care offers no-cost pregnancy testing at the center and at scheduled stops via the medical mobile unit. Cove Care does not provide extended OB/GYN or prenatal care, birth control prescriptions or devices, fertility testing, contraceptives, abortion services, or referrals for abortion.
