Covid critical information recently discovered
SAVE YOURSELF AND LOVED ONES A LOT OF WORRIES
169 transportation dilemma continues my175 last failed attempt was trying to have hospice test me for COVID. I was finally able to contact my176 hospice nurse today after a full week while ordering more Norco177 and he told me that they do not do COVID testing.
Then I turned to my178 doctor and contacted his office and after about 10 minutes the answer there was that they do not do COVID testing in-home either. The doctor’s office suggested I call the Texas 211 number which is the Texas health and human services commission. The reason I am contacting my179 doctor is that he wants to check me for cancer, and I need a referral to my180 specialists for a refill on my181 baclofen182 pump.

Once I got them on the phone and entered several numerals and my183 ZIP Code, I got the Tarrant184 County 211 number. Tarrant185 County Health and Human Services Commission told me they do not do any in-home testing. They gave me a phone number to this gentleman who might know of some form of transportation I might be able to get to take me to my186 doctor’s office. They also suggested I contact my187 insurance company since they were under the impression the insurance company might send somebody out to do the testing.
Since it is Friday and late in the day approximately 3:30 PM by this time I decided not to contact that gentleman and wait till Monday to call him but instead to call my188 insurance company Humana189. I contacted Humana190 and they told me they did not offer any service to test me in my191 home.
One important factor is this little bit192 of critical information they did give me which I am passing on to everyone. It is a link to where you can avail yourself to free testing. Well, I am in the process of signing up and it is not exactly free because I believe it is paid for by your insurance company. But the important fact is that it is an Internet site that you contact, and they send you this test kit to check if you are negative or not for COVID. Here it is https://www.pixel.labcorp.com/covid116
Problems here is support number LABCORP SUPPORT 800 833 3935
Be careful how you fill out the questions in the beginning because they are critical and will lead you to the point of whether they will send you a kit. I made sure that I entered that someone wanted me to go and followed suit with that type of attitude, I also entered that I had others as far as the symptoms go. Make sure you have your insurance card and insurance information available because the questionnaire will ask you for that.
I feel this is a critical test for you and your family who does not want to know if you are positive or negative unless you had your round of shots are ready. This is a slick way to find out within a few days, you can simply check with your insurance company before you follow through.
There are enough worries and concerns about COVID, where do you get the vaccine, how long does it last (they do not know), do you have to be negative to get the shot, and do you have to prove it? If you have had COVID then they say you can get your vaccination 90 days after you were first diagnosed so this is a good way to get tested at home.
I believe this is delivered by and sent back by FedEx so it is done quickly and by the end of the week, you should have your results if you said that in early enough. Personally, I think this will give a lot of people ease of mind. The only problem is I do not know how often you can take this test. God bless everyone I hope this works out for you as it will for me and I pray everyone stays healthy.

Hi Joe, my gosh what a nightmare of running around. It is almost criminal to put someone through what you have been going through.
Take care of yourself Joe, which is what I think you are trying to do but are being put through an obstacle course.
Wishing you the best of health and success,
Michael
God bless you for your thoughts and hopes Michael they are greatly appreciated as well as your understanding. I feel we are all pretty much in this situation together. Everyone has a crutch to bear I just happened to have 2 I guess but you cannot succeed at anything by quitting. I will eventually get to the doctors just that it will take a little more pain before I get there. I ordered the test kit from LabCorp today so hopefully, I will have positive reporting about my results by the end of the week.

Hi Joe it is a shame on the system that you have to go through all of this. I recognize your strength and your perseverance will pay off. We both know that.
Canada has its problems too but I hope they are dealing with them in a better fashion.
Stay strong Joe, I think it is in your nature.
I wish you all the very best, good health and success,
Michael
Thank you so much Michael I greatly appreciate your feelings and comments and especially your support.
Joe

Alex, I agree I'm getting a little bit dizzy now from it all but what the heck there's got to be a light at the end of this tunnel. God bless you with your good wishes.

That is an appalling carry on and must be very stressful, running round in circles like that.
Here in the UK, there are testing centers everywhere and it is easy to get free kits via the internet. They arrive quickly, get posted back and results are available within a few days at the most.
I am so sorry you are having such a problem Joe.
Thank you so much for your understanding and you are so correct about the problems here in the USA. In a nation as large and wealthy as we are there is absolutely no excuse for this nonsense. First, you have the federal government who has it down to the state who screw around with it and then passes it down to the counties that screw it up further. It is a total nightmare because of this senseless process. The federal government should have taken responsibility for this from beginning to end. The problem is all their worthless cronies would not have gotten involved so they had to do it the other way and screw everything up.
(USA) Useless Senseless Asses - Running the Government
That is what I believe anymore.

We were fortunate that someone had the amazing insight not to go in with Europe on the vaccine creation and rollout, otherwise, we would be in the same position they are now. Few vaccinated and a 3rd wave.
Then someone had the foresight to bring in a top logistical person from the armed forces to organise the vaccine rollout. If it was left to someone in government they would still be twiddling their thumbs and we would be getting nowhere.
So in our govt we had had 2 people who had a momentary brainwave and acted on it, a rare thing, lol.

The only thing that annoys me is the run around, trying to get the test taken care of and then sending it back for them to run a test result. Then having to stay by the phone waiting on their call or (you will call them) to 👀 see what if the test is a positive or a negative and that does take time and patience but only enough for it to ridicule you.
I hope that it isn't necessarily the case for you and that you have gotten your results in already.
My prayers are sent.
Best wishes,
Myra
No test yet Myra I am still trying to get transportation to the doctor's office and I have sent for this test and hopefully, it might work out for me so I can finally get back to my regular transportation. Try Metro here in Fort Worth will not transport me until they have a statement stating that I am negative before they will even allow me on their handicapped buses. So I am in a big wait state waiting to see if I can find someone to take me to the doctor or waiting to get this test returned after I've taken it so I can send it in to try Metro. This world of COVID I am living in is an absolute nightmare, oh well.
Joe
I understand what you mean. Hey you know the link that you shared in this blog? It's not letting me connect because when I clicked on the link it said "Page Could Not Be Found."

How I got it to work was to go directly to my browser and type out the whole thing myself https://www.pixel.labcorp.com/covid-19.

Myra, I got mine to work by going directly to my browser and typing the entire entry by myself https://www.pixel.labcorp.com/covid-19. A heads up on answering the questions, the first round my response was to check on other. The second round was to check on being requested by a doctor to get the test. The third round was a no-brainer because I am over 65. From that point time they ask you your name, address, state and zip then your insurance company name and your insurance company ID. I have no idea what type of questions follow if you report that you have symptoms and request the tests since I took a different route. God bless and good luck to you and everyone who wants to try to take this COVID test. I do know it is rather expensive if you want to pay for yourself it states it costs $119. Since I contacted Humana to get this information and they sent me to this site Humana insurance is willingly paying for it. I would guess this for most insurance companies.

Hello Joe,
That makes a lot of sense. I was able to go to the correct link that you provided to see the website for myself.
Thanks a lot for this information. 🙂
I surely hope this works for you.
Best,
Myra
God bless and good luck to you to Myra.
