If you test positive or think you have COVID-19, you may be able to use telehealth to access treatment options faster. COVID-19 treatment works best if you take it within a few days of feeling sick or testing positive.
Telehealth means connecting with a doctor over the phone or through a video call. Using telehealth, a doctor can assess you and, if appropriate, give you a treatment plan that meets your needs.
If you have a health care provider, ask them if telehealth is an option for learning more about COVID-19 treatment. If you don’t have a provider or your provider doesn’t offer telehealth, you may be able to access telehealth directly. Learn more about telehealth providers that can prescribe COVID-19 treatment in Colorado.
Many commercial insurance companies provide telehealth services for their members. Contact your insurance company to learn if telehealth services are available through your plan. This could help you avoid out-of-pocket costs.
Additionally, some services listed below may accept private insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. Be sure to read through each company’s information carefully to determine if they accept your insurance, and double-check with them when making an appointment.
Some services may partner with a pharmacy for same-day or next-day delivery of COVID-19 treatments. Be sure to ask about out-of-pocket delivery and shipping costs, which may vary depending on location and prescription insurance. Patients can also choose to have a prescription filled at a preferred pharmacy at no extra cost, as long as the pharmacy is an enrolled COVID-19 therapeutics dispenser. Some providers can help you determine if your preferred pharmacy is enrolled or has inventory, but it is best to use the map below to identify an enrolled pharmacy closest to you before your telehealth visit. You may be asked to identify your preferred pharmacy in the sign-up process prior to seeing a provider.
