State Office of Rural Health: Free Telehealth Available Options for Positive COVID-19 Patients

Free Telehealth Available Options for Positive COVID-19 Patients - Washington State Department of Health in collaboration with partners with Birds Eye Medical and Color Health launched a free telehealth option to increase access to free COVID-19 oral antiviral medication.

Under this initiative, anyone in Washington state who tests positive for COVID-19, including with a self-test, can arrange a free consultation with a healthcare provider using a landline phone, smartphone, or computer with a high-speed internet connection. If appropriate, they can receive a free prescription for pick-up at the nearest pharmacy that has the oral antivirals or have their medication delivered.

There are two options to set up a telehealth appointment - either by visiting DOH’s new free telehealth webpage or by calling the DOH COVID-19 call center. 

Telehealth providers are available every day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. PST.

Those interested to arrange an appointment by phone can call the DOH COVID-19 call center at 1–800–525–0127 and press #.

The call center is available to arrange telehealth consultations from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. PST on Mondays, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.PST on Tuesdays through Sundays and state holidays.
