FAQ’s

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough, and shortness of breath. These can be symptoms of other respiratory illnesses as well as COVID-19.

First, know that you generally need to be in close contact with someone with COVID-19 to get infected. Close contact includes scenarios like living with or caring for a person with confirmed COVID-19, being within six feet of a person with confirmed COVID-19 for about 10 minutes, or if someone with COVID-19 coughed on you, kissed you, shared utensils with you or you had direct contact with their body secretions.

Monitor your health for fever, cough and shortness of breath for 14 days after your last contact with the ill person.

Do not go to school or work. Avoid public places for 14 days.

If you are sick with fever, cough, or shortness of breath, even if your symptoms are mild, isolate yourself.

If you are at higher risk for severe illness (over 60, or with underlying health conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, or diabetes), have a weakened immune system or are pregnant, call your health care provider. They may want to test you for COVID-19.

If you have symptoms but are not in a high-risk category, talk with your health care provider. They will help you determine if you need to be evaluated.

If you are in a high-risk category, and have symptoms of COVID-19, call your healthcare provider for advice. If you are at risk for serious illness, your healthcare provider may arrange a test for COVID-19.

High risk conditions include being older than 60, having underlying health conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, or diabetes, having a weakened immune system or being pregnant

If you do not have a high-risk condition and your symptoms are mild, you do not need to be tested for COVID-19. Do not go out when you are sick, practice excellent hygiene, and wear a face mask when you are around other people if you can.

Cover coughs and sneezes. Avoid sharing personal household items. Clean your hands often. Clean all “high-touch” surfaces like doorknobs often.

Monitor your symptoms and call your health care provider if symptoms worsen.

Stay home and avoid others for 72 hours after your fever goes down and symptoms get better.

Section 3202(b) of the CARES Act also requires providers of diagnostic tests for COVID-19 to make public the cash price of a COVID-19 diagnostic test on the provider’s public internet website.  Section 3202(b) of the CARES Act also grants the Secretary of HHS authority to impose civil monetary penalties on any provider that does not comply with this requirement and has not completed a corrective action plan, in an amount not to exceed $300 per day that the violation is ongoing.

Federal law now requires all health insurers (except short-term plans) to cover all costs associated with COVID-19 testing — without imposing any copays or deductibles, and regardless of whether the provider is in-network.  This requirement covers not only the actual test, but also the visit (whether in-person or via telehealth) that resulted in the order for the test.
