CH Consulting Solutions bills the insurance company for the COVID-19 test. There is normally no cost to the individual when it is billed through insurance but individuals should check with their insurance company to make sure it is covered under their plan.
Those testing at Heritage Park are asked to remain in their vehicles. Restrooms will be reserved for nurses and staff conducting testing and not available to the public. CH Consulting Solutions is a Nashville-based emergency medicine provider. All testing will be conducted and managed by CH Consulting Solutions.
Home COVID-19 tests are available through most local pharmacies and large chain stores. However, retailers have had a difficult time keeping home tests in stock, and home tests are in limited supply online.
Monoclonal treatments are available at Walmart pharmacies across the state through a coordinated distribution with the Tennessee Department of Health. The treatments are free. Visit www.walmart.com/covidmedication to find a participating Walmart pharmacy in Montgomery County. Initial supply in the state is limited, with more supplies expected over the next few weeks.
According to the Tennessee Department of Health, while antivirals may help treat COVID-19 Coronavirus, vaccination is the best approach to prevent infection. Tennesseans age five and older are encouraged to receive the COVID-19 Coronavirus vaccine.
