Hi Pam,

 

We are a smallish (800) employee ambulatory clinics with an insurance component. 

 

For positives, we do accept at home tests (and self reports).

 

For negative home tests, we require a confirmatory negative PCR.  We do these either in house or allow the employee to get them done through Public Health or their PCP.

 

Hope that helps!

Hi all,

 

What is your practice for getting staff tested if they complain of COVID-like symptoms?  Do you require a lab test or does a home test work?  Do you require proof of the positive test to be submitted to employee health?  Any input is welcome.  Thank you!

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Pam Caudill, BSN RN
