- Covid-19 tests: If you have symptoms and/or believe you were exposed, you should call your doctor for instructions on how to proceed. Our understanding is medical facilities are requesting people not just show up; calling ahead allows your provider to guide you to the appropriate care without risking exposure to others in the waiting room. At this writing, tests are available through a doctor in accordance with current federal guidelines.
- Prescription Drugs: For most on‐going prescriptions you can save the trip to the pharmacy (and money) by using the home delivery service. It is typically easy to change a retail Rx over to home delivery with a few clicks on the app or website.
CalCPA Health is committed to providing your health‐care and health insurance needs during these unprecedented times. COVID‐19 information is very fluid, timely updates are available at www.calcpahealth.com.
