If I already have a binax NOW test kit, can I use that with an emed appointment?

When I google emed, I see back in summer 21 the wait times for the proctor was an hour plus. Has anyone here taken the test with emed recently? What was the wait time?  

End of November - I don’t remember waiting; so probably <2 minutes.  Same timing after the 15 minutes of test incubation done.  And results were essentially instantaneous.  So easy and love getting results on the spot.

I used a iPad with a folding/ stand up cover.  For the length of time involved, holding a phone should be doable. 
 

My proctors were very easy to work with; they let me know when I got the box, my ID, … in the right camera position.

 

As for eMed v Optus for purchasing - If you want a quantity less than six kits or they are out of stick, eMed suggests you go to the Optum Store.  It really doesn’t matter on which site you start shopping.  The price is cheaper per kit when you buy a 6 pack.  

 

From my experience and others’ reports, kits arrive quickly - mine was 3 days, even during the post-Christmas package back-up.
