How does a COVID-19 self-test work? The self-test involves a small finger-prick blood test that you can perform at home with a result being available within approximately 15 minutes. The test detects IgG and IgM antibodies to COVID-19 from 7 days after infection and/or 3 days after the onset of symptoms.

 How will the ZoomDoc COVID-19 Home Test Plan work?

1. ZoomDoc will arrange for a COVID-19 home test to be sent to your address either directly or from its third-party supplier, as soon as possible after your plan is confirmed.

2. Our ZoomDoc GPs are available 24/7 to provide telephone or video consultations both prior to and after testing, ensuring that its patients have access to responsible and educated healthcare professionals to discuss your symptoms or other healthcare concerns. 

3. Current government policy requires all positive test results to be reported to Public Health.  This reporting is vital to improve our understanding of Coronavirus and working on containing it. 

4. Therefore, if your result is positive, we will ask you to email your results to us at covid19@zoomdoc.com or to undertake your Telemedicine Consultation allowing you to provide your results directly to a ZoomDoc GP.

5. If you do not require to discuss your test results or symptoms further with a ZoomDoc GP, your Telemedicine Consultation will remain valid for a 12 month period.

 
Has the COVID-19 home test been approved by the appropriate regulatory body in the UK?
 

  • Yes, the test that ZoomDoc will provide has been approved for use by the UK's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency. 


Current UK healthcare policy is unclear whether COVID-19 home test kits can be supplied to patients without support from a professional healthcare provider being accessible. Therefore, at this stage, ZoomDoc will not be providing COVID-19 home tests to patients who are not signed up to one of ZoomDoc's COVID-19 Home Test Plans. We will continue to monitor this position over the coming days and weeks.
 
Please note:

* ZoomDoc Family Plans to enable a further 3 additional COVID-19 test kits that can be purchased. 
* All Telephone or Video Consultations must be undertaken within 12 months from the start of the plan.
* Referrals or private letters are charged at an additional £15 each. 
* Prescriptions will be provided on the basis of clinical need.
