To streamline the process of screening employees for COVID-19, ensuring testing is scheduled as soon as possible, we are asking staff to submit the form linked below.
- Submit the form and receive email confirmation. If additional information is needed, Employee Health will contact you.
- If testing is indicated, staff from Methodist Physicians Clinic will call you after 10 a.m. to schedule testing. Forms submitted after 1 p.m. will be contacted the following morning.
- The following business day, Employee Health will contact you with your test result.
- Testing of employees will only occur Monday-Friday. It will not be available on weekends.
Testing at Home?
Please notify Employee Health at (402) 354-5684 if you test positive or if you have questions about returning to work after illness.
