How to order the test and treatment
Providers can use either EPIC or the paper forms to order testing and treatment. Follow the instructions below. Please note that we are expanding the treatment to include pregnant and breastfeeding patients who otherwise meet the criteria and have received counseling. Details of arranging this counseling are in the Tipsheets.
Order the Test:
It is important that a COVID-19 antigen or PCR test is ordered for results to be received in time for the patient to be eligible to receive this treatment.
In Epic, please follow the instructions in the hip tip below to order the antigen test.
