How to get tested, vaccinated, and more
Testing
You should get tested for COVID-19 immediately if you are experiencing symptoms.
Over-the-counter (OTC) COVID-19 tests are generally available at a local pharmacy or other locations. You can use funds from your health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA) to pay for tests at these locations. Please note, if you use an HSA or FSA to pay, you will not be eligible to receive a Blue Shield of California reimbursement.
COVID-19 vaccine information
Schedule an appointment in your area or learn more about the vaccine.
Treatment
Some people who test positive for COVID-19 may benefit from medication, which is more effective the sooner it is taken. Consult your primary care provider or an in-network urgent care.
