COVID-19 treatment online
Tested positive? Find out if treatment is right for you.
Most people with COVID-19 recover at home with rest and fluids. For people at higher risk of getting very sick, an antiviral such as Paxlovid can lower that risk, and it has to be started within 5 days of your first symptoms. A provider can check whether it is right for you and screen your other medications for interactions.
For non-emergencies only. Call 911 for a medical emergency. A licensed provider decides whether a prescription is right for you. Medication is paid separately at the pharmacy. Adults 18+.

COVID-19 questions
Who can get Paxlovid?
It is meant for adults at higher risk of severe COVID-19, such as people 65 and older or with conditions like diabetes, heart disease, lung disease or obesity, and it must start within 5 days of symptoms. The provider decides whether it is right for you.
Do I need a positive test?
A positive home or lab test helps the provider confirm it is COVID-19. Test as soon as you have symptoms, and again in two days if the first test is negative.
How long am I contagious?
You are most contagious in the first few days. Stay home while you have a fever or feel sick, and take extra care around others for the next five days.
How much does an online visit cost?
A flat $99 for the visit, self-pay, no insurance needed. Medication is paid separately at your pharmacy, where a free Rx.com coupon or your insurance can lower the price.
Will I definitely get a prescription?
No. The provider prescribes only when it is medically appropriate. Sometimes the right plan is OTC treatment or rest, and the provider will tell you if you need to be seen in person.
