Where can I get tested?
We understand your level of concern when it comes to COVID-19. You may be wondering if–based on your exposure or symptoms – you might qualify for testing. We are here to answer your questions and help guide you through this process.
Please keep in mind an Avion Healthcare team member will determine if you need additional resources to be tested. Healthy individuals do not require testing. In addition, testing appointments are limited with testing sites. Avion may refer in order of priority sorting others who are at higher risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19.
What is COVID-19?
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that is transmitted through droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Getting sick from these droplets requires proximity to an infected person, or touching a surface that might have a droplet, then touching your mouth, nose and possibly eyes.
Will I have to pay for COVID-19 testing and services? NO AND NO
It is important to not delay testing or treatment for COVID-19 if you have concerning symptoms. You may be wondering what these services cost or how they will be paid for. Here are some common questions and answers related to cost and billing.
Are hospitals restricting visitors?
Our referring hospital is Banner University, which is currently exercising visitor restrictions.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, Banner has also limited access to its hospitals. Main entrances and emergency room entrances will remain open at all locations, but other secondary entrances may be restricted at this time.
The Arizona Department of Health Services recently activated the Arizona Crisis Standards of Care Plan. This plan gives hospitals and healthcare agencies such as Avion, Banner, and all health systems within the state of Arizona the ability to provide care in a different way due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This also gives us the flexibility we need to care for you outpatient with in-home caregiving.
The State plan includes the COVID-19 Addendum: Allocation of Scarce Resources. This addendum gives guidelines to health systems about how to distribute resources if they run short. This addendum is sometimes called a “triage guide” and is only used if/when resources are not enough. All the hospitals and health systems in Arizona have agreed to work together so that important, life-saving resources do not have to be triaged. If that changes, hospitals and health systems will notify Arizonans.
All patients, regardless of resource availability, will be treated with respect, care and compassion FREE OF CHARGE. We will continue to save as many lives as possible.
