Pima County's 'test to Treat' Program Continues for Those With Covid-19

Cityoftucson

If you test positive for COVID-19 (on an at-home test or at a testing site) and meet certain eligibility requirements, you may be able to receive a prescription for a free oral antiviral treatment. This program is already available at some health care providers and clinics in our community, but to increase access, the Pima County Health Department recently implemented a free "Test to Treat" program available to everyone (no insurance card necessary). The walk-in service is at the Health Department’s East Clinic, 6920 E. Broadway Blvd. You can be evaluated by a provider at no cost if you test positive. If you already have a positive test, you can walk into the clinic or call (520) 724-7895 to discuss eligibility for treatment and get a prescription if you medically qualify. The clinic and the phone number are staffed from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekends.
