Pregnancy Testing at NorthShore

NorthShore offers free pregnancy testing at all of our medical locations. If you suspect you are pregnant either due to a missed period or have early signs of pregnancy, you can walk in to one of our clinics anytime between 8:30am to 5:00pm to receive a free pregnancy test. A prenatal nurse will provide you with a urine pregnancy test where you will receive results within minutes.

If your test comes back positive, NorthShore staff can provide you with information on our many Board Certified OB/GYN doctors and midwives and assist you with scheduling your first prenatal visit. Additionally, the prenatal nurse will provide you with a verification of pregnancy if needed for insurance purposes. For patients that do not have insurance, a Certified Insurance Navigator is available to help you enroll in Medicaid if eligible or choose an insurance plan that will be active and available once you begin seeing a doctor for prenatal care.

If you find out you are not pregnant, NorthShore staff can assist you with scheduling an appointment with an OB/GYN if you are still concerned with your physical symptoms or if you want more information on birth control or contraceptive care options.
