Telehealth Covid testing for Alaska with on point?

[Principessa1284]

Hi all - we are cruising out in Vancouver in July, and will be leaving early 2 days before the sail date so it will be difficult to go somewhere to get a test, and I have no interest in the anxiety of getting tested at the port. Has anyone used the onpoint telehealth bring your own test with success? I have heard about emed but we have a ton of the free gov testing kits to use.

I haven’t done it but I have read posts from people who have successfully used OnPoint with an FDA approved test. You need an appointment, you can do two people at one appointment but they each need to pay the testing fee (which is very reasonable).

Are any rapid antigen tests actually FDA approved? I thought they were all FDA emergency use only at this point? I didn't realize some had full FDA approval. Is there a list somewhere? Their website is less than helpful in terms of what tests they accept. It literally says "any."

All the free ones from the government would be FDA approved. There is a list on FDA website somewhere. ETA: I meant FDA approved for emergency use.
