In partnership with the State of Ohio, PCPH offers two options for free Rapid COVID-19 Antigen At-Home Test Kits.
Option 1 : Over-the-counter (OTC) tests that do not require a telehealth session; they are conducted at home and are for personal use. These tests can be used whether you have COVID-19 symptoms or not.
Option 2: Home tests that include a proctored telehealth session through eMed (ohio.emed.com). These tests should only be used if you have COVID-19 symptoms and wish to be linked to treatment, or if you need a documented test result. With an eMed at-home test, if you don’t feel well, a Telehealth Proctor walks you through the test live and verifies the results with an official lab report. If positive, eMed can immediately connect you to a clinician who can provide a medical evaluation and prescribe treatment if you qualify, all without leaving your home. Prescriptions provided through eMed can be filled at a pharmacy of your choice for pick up or delivery nationwide, depending on location and availability.
Both types of tests are distributed at the health department (110 Island Rd. Suite C. Circleville, OH 43113) on a walk-in basis Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm.
