Telehealth Test-to-Treat program
 The Minnesota Department of Health, in partnership with Cue Health, has launched a Telehealth
Test-to-Treat service.
 This means you can speak to a provider very quickly without having to leave your home if you
have symptoms of COVID-19 and have either tested positive for COVID or you know you have
been exposed to it.

 This service is available via telephone, smart phone app, or computer web browser.
 Once you begin the process, you will answer some questions, and then you will speak with a
licensed clinician who will determine whether a COVID-19 medication is right for you.
o They will review your health history with you as well as any other medications you may
be on.
o Based on your medical history, the other medications you may be taking, and when you
started having COVID symptoms, they will determine whether a COVID-19 therapeutic
medication is right for you.
o If you get a prescription, the provider will send it to the pharmacy of your choice with
the medication in stock
o You can also choose to have the medication delivered to your doorstep.
 Time is of the essence: These medications must be taken within 5 days of having COVID
symptoms in order to be effective. So use the telehealth services as soon as you can.
 It is also important to remember that your symptoms do not have to be severe to need
treatment. Mild symptoms can quickly become more severe and result in needing hospital care,
so treatment is meant to reduce that risk and is better if you start it earlier when symptoms are
mild.
 There is no ID, residency, citizenship, or other requirement to use this service. You just have to
be in Minnesota. If you are prescribed medication, you will need to either pick it up at a
pharmacy in MN or have it delivered to an address in MN (does not have to be your home
address)
 This service is available in 11 different languages, including not only English, but also Spanish,
Hmong, Somali, Karen, Oromoo, Amharic, Vietnamese, Arabic, Russian, and French.
 Here is how you get started if you have tested positive or have been exposed to COVID-19:
o  Call 1-844-609-2415
o Visit care.cuehealth.com/mn
o Download the Cue Health app in the Apple or Google app stores
 If you have questions about treatment or accessing free at-home tests, call the MDH COVID-19
Public hotline at 1-833-431-2053 Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday,
