Wild Health now providing COVID-19 house call service
Available seven days a week and includes a Telehealth consult
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ/PRESS RELEASE) – Wild Health, in partnership with Wild Labs, announced Wednesday it’s expanded accessibility to COVID-19 testing from the comfort and convenience of their patients’ homes.
According to Wild Health, patients can now make appointments online and over the phone. Once an appointment has been made, a Wild Health Mobile Collection Specialist will be assigned and arrive on the date and time selected to administer a private and confidential COVID-19 test. Specialists will then keep in contact with patients and provide an ETA, updates, and notice of arrival.
A Telehealth visit with a licensed provider is now included with Wild Health testing services. Patients will receive a 3-5-minute virtual visit to discuss symptoms, possible exposure, and answer any questions they may have.
According to Wild Health, services are currently being offered in the greater Lexington and Louisville areas as well as northern Kentucky. Patients using their health insurance coverage will have no out-of-pocket expenses for any for the services provided. As a courtesy to Wild Health staff, patients are asked to wear a mask throughout the entirety of their visit. If patients do not have a mask of their own, one will be provided.
“Wild Health is expanding its ability to increase access to COVID-19 testing by meeting our patients where they live,” said Nicole Merz, Director of Clinical Operations and Training. “As an organization, we are committed to breaking down barriers to testing to ensure anyone who would like to be tested is given that opportunity.”
