Long Info
IS IT FREE?
1. If you have Medicare, the standard type, then it is free to you.
2. If you have PPO health insurance then there is a $30 convenience fee. We are waiving the deductible, co-pay, co-insurance.
3. If you have Kaiser, HMO, Medicaid, straight Medi-Cal, or some Medicare Advantage plans, then it is not free. We are working with the lab for a discount, but right now the cash price is $360. Check this link to see if you can get free LA County testing: https://lacovidprod.service-now.com/rrs .
DO I NEED TO SEE THE DOCTOR FIRST?
1. Yes, there is a very brief telemedicine appointment required before we order the test.
2. You will need either your smartphone, or a computer with camera and microphone, in order to have the appointment.
3. There is also a brief telemedicine appointment about a week later, after your test results are back.

FAQ
1. Is this a SCAM? I saw on the news that all the at-home tests are scams. Answer: Unless the swab is sent to an FDA-listed laboratory, it’s a scam. Click here to check if the lab is on the FDA list: https://bit.ly/3aH1x7n .
2. How do you have access to the lab? I keep seeing on the news that there is a shortage of tests. Answer: The lab we work with, has the ability to perform many thousands of tests a day. Please pass along this email. We were fortunate enough to connect with the lab through one of our patients.
3. Is it a nose swab and are the instructions very clear so there is low risk for a regular person to swab incorrectly? Answer: Yes, a nose swab. We will send you video demos to watch.
4. Does the test tell you if you have had it before? Answer: No, only blood tests or fingerprick tests will do that. These are just now becoming available. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/health/coronavirus-antibody-test.html
