COVID-19 Treatment

In Care on Location’s Test to Treat program, people with evidence testing positive or showing symptoms of COVID-19 can get a prescription for treatment from a health care provider (if appropriate) and have their prescription filled. People who receive COVID-19 test results through at-home tests or another testing site can also use a Test to Treat to receive a prescription for oral antivirals, and a health care provider can determine if either of these medications is appropriate for you.
If you test positive or think you might have COVID-19, you may be able to get treatment to help you recover. Treatment works best if it’s taken within a few days of when you first got sick. It’s important to seek treatment fast to lower your risk of serious illness. Care on Location has trained clinicians available by phone or video that can discuss your concerns about COVID-19 and your health. They will evaluate and recommend appropriate treatments according to health risk and availability of treatments if you are positive for COVID-19. Not all patients may be eligible for COVID-19 specific treatment but providers will still be able to recommend supportive treatment and help inform patients on what to do when they test positive for COVID-19 We are following National Institute of Health’s COVID-19 guidelines For more information about the program go to this website:

Test to Treat FAQs

Who does Care on Location’s Test to Treat program cover?

Because of state medical practice laws, our program is only available to people who are physically in Colorado at the time of the evaluation.

Can I use my insurance?

We confirm your insurance eligibility. Often insurance is covering COVID-19 related appointments 100% but we may need to collect a form of payment in case we cannot confirm your insurance eligibility or you have a deductible. If the visit is covered when we submit to insurance, we will refund any payment we collected at time of visit.

What insurances do you take?

Colorado Medicaid, BCBS, Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare,Tricare Medicare Part B and United Healthcare/AARP Medical Advantage, Anthem Medicare Advantage, and Aetna Medicare Advantage plans. We do not accept other state (not Colorado) Medicaid, VA insurance, Bright Health, Cigna Medicare Advantage, or Humana Medicare Advantage plans.

What if I don't have insurance?

You do not need insurance to use Care On Location. Visits are $69.99 if you do not have insurance.

What Oral Antivirals are Available?

Right now, oral antivirals (Paxlovid and molnupiravir) are authorized for people who:
  • Are aged 12 years and older for Pfizer’s Paxlovid or aged 18 years and older for Merck’s Lagevrio (molnupiravir), and
  • Have tested positive for COVID-19, and
  • Have had symptoms for less than five days, and
  • Are at high risk of becoming seriously ill. People at at high risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19 include:
    • People who are aged 65 years and older.
    • People who are obese or overweight. This includes adults with a BMI of 25 or more. It also includes children under age 18 years old whose providers determine they meet the criteria.
    • Pregnant people (for Paxlovid only).
    • People with underlying medical conditions.
Health insurance is not required to receive treatment at a Test to Treat location. Oral antivirals are free. However, there may be other costs associated with this visit, like administration or appointment fees. Coloradans with health insurance may use it to cover these costs. Coloradans without insurance should apply for Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program). Health First Colorado covers COVID-19 testing and treatments for those who qualify.

What do I need to be seen for COVID-19?

We ARE universally accepting self proctored tests as an organization. To access treatment, you will need a positive COVID-19 test result. You can take a rapid at-home test before your appointment, submit the results of a laboratory test, or take a rapid at-home test proctored by a Care on Location telehealth provider. We will need to see the positive test and prefer to have the patient take the test in front of us, but at the same time, we understand they probably searched for treatment only after they tested positive.

What are the treatments for COVID-19 and what might increase my risk for complications?

COVID-19 treatments, including monoclonal antibody therapy and antivirals, can help prevent severe illness for some people who get infected with COVID-19 and are not hospitalized, but have one or more risk factors for progression to severe disease. Risk factors include certain medical conditions, including being overweight or obese, and older age. Additionally, risk factors can include social and environmental conditions called social determinants of health; these are not the result of individual choices, but historical barriers like systemic racism and discrimination. Providers should evaluate all people who test positive for COVID-19 for treatment.
