Our experience today:
Three days ago, we scheduled 4 tests for today at noon, indicating test was for travel. Today added a 5th person, indicating this person had exposure at a conference and a cough. All 5 of us were told we had to pay for testing regardless of travel or exposure/symptoms. Disappointed and a bit panicked, I remembered all the options for proctored testing. On drive home at 12:30, I was making appts with the company below starting as early as 1:00. By 2:00 all 5 of us were tested and had our negative results. So easy and huge relief. If in the future we need this again, would definitely go this route even if CVS were an option, this was so convenient and easy worth every penny. $20 pp using free ihealth we received from the government distribution.
I have been reading these boards picking up tips, but usually don’t join discussions as it’s not generally my thing, but this information might be helpful to others and I know I would have been lost without all the previous posts about testing, so I thought I would pay it forward.
