JASPER — OptumServe Health Services will open a new COVID-19 testing site in Dubois County on Monday.

The site will be located at the Ruxer Golf Course building located at 400 S. Clay St., Jasper.

The site will be open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, June 29, through Thursday July 2. The weeks after, the site will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Register by appointment only at https://lhi.care/covidtesting or by phone at 888-634-1116.

Appointments can be made starting today. Testing is for anyone who lives or works in the state of Indiana. Anyone now can be tested, even those who are not showing symptoms.

The site will not do COVID-19 antibody testing.

There is no charge for testing. However, if you do have private health care insurance, you are asked to bring that to the testing site.

People can expect to get the results within 48 hours. Optum will send a text or email to the patient if the test is negative. A phone call will be given if there is a positive test result.

The Dubois County Health Department will not be involved with the direct operations of OptumServe’s clinic. The department will receive the positive cases results of Dubois County residents and will continue to work with the Indiana State Department of Health and local officials to ensure that contacts of the patients are identified and monitored.
