National Institutes of Health (NIH) has expanded their Home Test to Treat program, a virtual home health program that offers free COVID-19 and influenza (flu) health services including at-home “PCR quality” rapid tests, telehealth sessions and at-home treatments, to eligible participants nationwide.
Respiratory infections still pose a significant risk for CLL / SLL patients. Having free, high-quality tests for flu and COVID-19, access to telehealth medical advice, and if appropriate medication is a great service.
Eligibility for the Home Test to Treat program includes those on Medicare, Medicaid, in the VA healthcare system, receive care from Indian Health Services, or those who may be uninsured or underinsured.
