U.S. Company Announces First At-Home Coronavirus Test to Be Available on March 23

Once consumers are approved for the test, they can purchase it for $135 on Everlywell’s website. The company said that this will be “no profit to Everlywell, and will be covered by participating HSA and FSA providers.”

“Samples will be shipped to partner labs with overnight delivery, secure digital results will be available online within 48 hours of the lab receiving the sample, and free telehealth consultations with an independent, board-certified physician will be available for those with positive results,” Everlywell said.

Everlywell says it is ready to ship 30,000 COVID-19 tests but plans to produce more in the coming weeks.“Given the high demand for testing, the company will work rapidly to make more tests available as the global supply shortage for COVID-19 diagnostic kits is addressed,” Everlywell said. “We are committed to doing everything we can to help stop the spread of coronavirus.”

An article I read said that doing the test right is very important. Can we trust people to do it right? We can’t even trust people when it comes to social distancing. I don’t think this is “pee on the stick” type of test.

Waiting for FDA approved test. Not because I trust them, not because I'm a fan of Jerad et al, but so my insurance will cover cost.

How much? How much? 🤔🤔🧐🧐

$135 😳 no way I could afford that. Just trying to afford all my regular medications right now is hard enough. And if my husband loses his job during this it will be worse.
