What to expect
Once you've scheduled your COVID-19 Clearance Exam, you will complete a baseline assessment.
During your appointment, you’ll talk to a doctor, receive a COVID-19 test and a physical exam. This test will determine if you are currently infected with COVID-19 and the exam will assess your physical readiness for your upcoming procedure. Carbon Health offers a myriad of COVID-19 tests including diagnostic and antibody.
Coronavirus test results can be shared via email or the Carbon Health app.
Carbon Health will not share any results from your visit directly with your medical procedure provider or travel carrier.

If you have insurance, for example Kaiser HMO or Medi-Cal, there is no fee or cost to you as a patient. You will need to supply Carbon Health with your insurance details, preferably when you book your appointment online, or via the Carbon Health app.
If you are not insured, there is no fee or cost to you as the patient. As part of the Families First and CARES Act, you will have to fill out a short form at the clinic at the time of your COVID-19 Clearance Exam appointment. The new FFCRA and CARES Acts have made funding available to allow Coronavirus (COVID-19 ) related care accessible to all Americans including those uninsured. We still will need to file the testing visit to the government.
