PCR Testing at MSU Health Care

MSU Health Care has partnered with Sparrow Health System to resume on-campus PCR testing for COVID-19 for Fall 2022.

Testing is available for the Spartan community at the MSU Clinical Center, 804 Service Road, Entrance A, from 12:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Parking is available in Lot 90, and the Clinical Center is serviced by CATA bus route #32. Testing will be available for all ages.

Access is available by walk-up at anytime, and patients can expect results through the portal within 24-48 hours of collection. Results will be communicated through Sparrow’s Patient Portal, which individuals can sign up for whether they are a current Sparrow patient or not. If you do not receive your results, please check your spam/junk folder. If you need support, please contact sparrow at (517) 364-4357.

Insurance information will be collected for billing purposes; those without insurance will be managed separately based on symptoms and need.

Anyone experiencing COVID-19 symptoms should immediately isolate and obtain a test. Other testing options include:

• Students experiencing significant symptoms (such as high fever, persistent cough or shortness of breath) also can request a medical appointment at Olin Health Center. A Student Health Services provider will administer a COVID-19 test as medically necessary.
• Many urgent care centers and pharmacies in the East Lansing area and other communities offer testing.
• Most health insurers will reimburse individuals for the costs of at-home tests.
