Ridgefield To Offer Drive-Thru Coronavirus Testing
No prescription is required, but residents are encouraged to preregister online for purposes of planning.
RIDGEFIELD, CT — The Town of Ridgefield has partnered with Docs Medical Group to offer town-wide drive-thru testing for the new coronavirus. The Office of Emergency Management is encouraging all residents, off all ages, to get tested.
Testing will take place on May 16, at the Parks and Recreation Center, located at 195 Danbury Road, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (last appointment time 2:30). Additional testing dates are planned and will be announced in the future.
No prescription is required, but residents are encouraged to preregister online here for purposes of planning:
- Once on the site you will see Docs Urgent Care-Danbury
- Under "Check In Online," select any time to bring you to the registration page
- When registering, under "Visit Info," go to the "Reason for the Visit" drop-down menu by clicking the arrow to the right; select "COVID-19 Ridgefield Resident."
- Enter your personal and insurance information there. If uninsured, additional steps will be required at the time of the testing.
- Fill out the form completely, ignoring the time slot.
- For payment information: If insured, fill this in by selecting "By Insurance." If uninsured, select "By Cash." Docs Medical will first bill an insurance carrier. The government program will automatically cover what insurance does not. No payments will be required for the test.
- The last step is to follow the instructions in the pale blue box to verify the phone number you provided. Once complete, an onscreen confirmation will appear. It lists a Danbury address, please ignore this and plan to proceed to the Parks and Recreation Center, located at 195 Danbury Road. You may show up for your test anytime between 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
- You will receive an email invitation from DOCS MEDICAL to register for their portal. You will receive an email with your confirmation later, but it will not be posted in a portal.
Residents should provide a Connecticut Driver's License, a School ID, Social Security card, or a piece of mail under their name along with their insurance card.
The tests are first come/registered, first served. There will be very limited tests for non-registered Ridgefield residents.
