Anyone 18 and Older Who Tests Positive for COVID-19 Can Have a Free COVID-19 Treatment Telehealth Consultation:
Free COVID-19 Treatment Telehealth consultations.  People 18 and older who test positive for COVID-19 can meet via phone or internet with a healthcare clinician within five to 30 minutes.  If eligible, a clinician will prescribe an antiviral pill that reduces the risk for severe symptoms, hospitalization and death from COVID-19.  The prescription can be filled at over 700 pharmacies.  Insurance is not required; those without pharmacy access can have medicine shipped overnight.  Telehealth is available statewide, with consultations available in multiple languages seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., including holidays.  At-home COVID-19 tests or tests performed by a healthcare provider or a community testing site are acceptable.  To begin your free consultation, start the process online or call 1-833-273-6330.
