Out-of-State COVID Testing

[*Miss G*]

For those who took an in-person COVID test in a State other than your hometown, did you use the hotel address or your home address?  I am trying to determine if I should use our hotel address or not.  Not sure if it’s required to tie to our insurance.

 

Thank you to anyone who can help!

Since I live near the state line I have never taken a covid test in the state where I live. Always one of the neighboring states.  I have gotten them at Walgreens and always used my own address.

Thank you @Red Haired Lady!  That is exactly the information I was looking for as I am currently booking at Walgreens!  Did you say it was for travel purposes?  Not quite sure what to put there.

 

Editing to add… when I book at CVS they don’t ask about travel but they do ask about whether I’ve been in a situation where close contact was unavoidable (eg, those kids coughing all over me on my flight) but so far Walgreens hasn’t asked me that.  Their question was have I been in contact with someone who tested positive.  Am I overthinking this?

You used to be able to put travel and it was free.  Now if you put travel I think it is $125. (I haven't done it since this changed)  If you put down you have symptoms then it is free.  Some people have allergies this time of the year and have symptoms.......

I have year-round allergies and have already said, how will I know when it is COVID? (No fever with the allergies, answering my own question.)

I've had covid twice and never had a fever.

Sheesh, Walgreens’ questioning is really intense.  On top of the symptoms I’ve had, and the close contact with suspected covid, it still wants to know if I am traveling!  Well of course I’m traveling.  I need to get back home!
