Testing will take place in the Morristown Passport Health parking lot, 290 Madison Ave. The expansion to include private insurance was made due to the overwhelming statewide demand for testing.

The test will be conducted by appointment only. Patients will drive to the Passport Health parking lot in Morristown. In the parking lot, RNs will administer a nasal swab that will identify a comprehensive panel of over 40 pathogens, including Covid-19 and influenza. Test results will be available to patients within 36 hours.

Testing will be administered by appointment only. Appointments can be made by calling (732) 345-0029 or online at www.passporthealthnj.com. This will provide patients assurance they will be tested and not turned away after waiting in long lines.

The test is covered by private insurance/Medicare but Passport Health will assess a $50 administration fee to process the test.
