NIH test-to-treat telehealth program goes national, covers both COVID-19 and flu
The Home Test to Treat program now offers free testing, telehealth and treatment for both COVID-19 and flu to eligible adults nationwide, the National Institutes of Health announced. It began in January as a pilot program for COVID-19. Any adult with a current positive test for COVID-19 or flu can enroll to receive free telehealth care and prescribed medications delivered to their home. Adults who do not have COVID-19 or flu also may enroll to receive free at-home tests that detect both viruses if they are uninsured or enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, the Veterans Affairs health care system or Indian Health Services. To register, visit Home Test to Treat.
