For patients in need of a pre-op or pre-procedural test, individual clinics will provide test details prior to surgery. Service members deploying who in need of a test will be provided instructions from their deployment managers.

As an additional option for testing, patients can obtain a test at a community-based site; for locations visit https://covid19.sanantonio.gov/What-YOU-Can-Do/Testing.
