I Need a COVID-19 Test

Diagnostic Testing

Consent and Authorization

I. Consent for Diagnostic Test and Treatment (if applicable)

By selecting “Accept” below, I agree that e3Health Solutions, LLC, doing business as eTrueNorth and its independent contractors (collectively, “eTrueNorth”) may provide the individual who is registered (the “Testing Recipient”) with one or more diagnostic tests (collectively “Tests”) capable of diagnosing the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) and/or the influenza A and influenza B viruses (together, the “Flu”).

If the Testing Recipient is an adult, I acknowledge that the Testing Recipient will self-administer the Tests. If the Testing Recipient is a minor who does not have the appropriate physical capacity, I authorize a pharmacy staff member to administer the Tests to the Testing Recipient.

I authorize eTrueNorth to arrange for the analysis and interpretation of the Tests once the Tests contain the Testing Recipient’s specimen. 

Finally, in the event that the Testing Recipient obtains a positive result on a Test from an applicable pharmacy that offers treatment services, I acknowledge that, if applicable, either a pharmacy or a physician may order and dispense appropriate antiviral medications, as determined pursuant to their independent professional judgement, in order to provide treatment to the Testing Recipient.

In addition, I understand and agree to the following:

1. I certify that either one of the following is true: (i) that I am the Testing Recipient and I am at least eighteen (18) years of age, or (ii) that I am the parent, guardian, or other legally authorized individual of the Testing Recipient who is legally authorized to provide consent on behalf of the Testing Recipient.
2. The Testing Recipient’s eligibility to receive the Tests will depend on objective, scientifically determined eligibility criteria established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”).
3. If the Testing Recipient is an adult, then, the Testing Recipient will self-administer the Tests. If the Testing Recipient is a minor who does not have the appropriate physical capacity, then a pharmacy staff member will administer the Tests.
4. The Tests may be analyzed and interpreted by one or more of eTrueNorth's contractors.
5. If the Testing Recipient receives a positive Test result from an applicable pharmacy that offers treatment services, then, if applicable, (i) either a pharmacy or a physician may, using their independent professional judgement, order antiviral medications for the Testing Recipient, and (ii) a pharmacy will dispense such antiviral medications to the Testing Recipient, in order to provide treatment to the Testing Recipient.
6. Your leftover specimen may be placed into long term storage (banked) for studies used to develop new tests for patient care, in which case the specimen will be deidentified.

II. HIPAA Authorization

I hereby consent to and authorize (i) the disclosure of the Testing Recipient’s completed Tests to eTrueNorth's contractors to permit analysis and interpretation of the Tests, (ii) the disclosure of the Testing Recipient’s protected health information (including, without limitation, a Testing Recipient’s appointment information) with any pharmacy in eTrueNorth’s pharmacy network, (iii) if applicable, the use and disclosure of the Testing Recipient’s protected health information with any pharmacy in eTrueNorth’s pharmacy network and/or any physician for the purposes of providing the Testing Recipient with medical treatment in connection with any positive Test result (including, as applicable, antiviral medications), and (iv) the disclosure of the Testing Recipient’s Test results in any manner permitted by federal or state privacy and security laws. This consent and authorization is valid as of the day this document is signed by me and expires after one (1) year.

In addition, I understand and acknowledge the following:

1. I understand that I have the right to revoke this consent and authorization (except for the provisions set forth in Article III) at any time that I so choose by notifying eTrueNorth. If I revoke this consent and authorization, I understand that the revocation would only apply after I notify eTrueNorth.
2. I understand that my consent and authorization will result in the use or disclosure of the Testing Recipient’s protected health information. Though precautions will be taken to protect the confidentiality of this protected health information, I understand that the transmission of protected health information presents risks and that the confidentiality of such information may be compromised by failures of security safeguards or illegal tampering.
3. I understand that I may receive a copy of this consent and authorization by accessing “INeedaCovid19test.com” or by calling (800) 635-8611.

III. Billing Authorization

I understand that if I do not have health insurance, eTrueNorth will seek to obtain reimbursement via the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Increasing Community Access to Testing for COVID-19 program (the “ICATT program”).

If I do have health insurance, however, I understand that eTrueNorth will seek to obtain payment from my insurance carrier, I understand that I am liable for any amounts that my insurance carrier does not pay up to the cash price of $133.00, and I voluntarily agree to the following authorization:

1. I hereby authorize and direct my insurance carrier to issue payment to eTrueNorth for any Test that the Testing Recipient receives. To the extent applicable, I agree to pay for any amounts not covered by insurance.
2. I acknowledge that I voluntarily requested a Test from eTrueNorth on behalf of the Testing Recipient, and I understand that by making this request I am fully financially responsible for any charges associated with such Test.
3. I authorize eTrueNorth to (i) release any information necessary to insurance carriers regarding my Tests and health status; and (ii) process insurance claims generated in connection with my receipt of the Tests.
