COVID-19 Virtual Evaluations and Vehicle-Side Testing
Inova General Internal Medicine Group is now offering virtual evaluations and vehicle–side testing for individuals experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
HOW IT WORKS
- Schedule a Virtual Evaluation with a GIMG physician to be evaluated prior to testing
- Established GIMG patients are encouraged to schedule a virtual visit through the MyChart patient portal.
- New patients can schedule a Virtual Appointment online.
- Vehicle-side Testing. After the virtual evaluation is completed and you have received a provider’s order, a GIMG team member will schedule a COVID-19 vehicle-side testing appointment at the Ballston office. Vehicle-side testing is available at the Ballston office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1 – 5 p.m.
Fight the Flu
Flu vaccines are now available for existing primary care patients. A yearly flu shot is the most important step in protecting you and your loved ones from getting the flu. Flu shots are recommended for all children over the age of 6 months and all adults. Team members will abide by all current CDC and Safe@Inova guidelines.
