CVESD COVID Clinic

If we tested you or your child in the past:
We will continue to test free of charge. The government requires our school and Covid Clinic to ask if parents have insurance or are uninsured. Please fill out the form below. YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED!!!
https://secure.covidclinic.org/insurance/

Please watch this detailed video: https://vimeo.com/699606532

IMPORTANT: We have provided COVID-19 testing for you or your dependents during the COVID-19 pandemic. A new California law (SB 510) took effect January 1, 2022, and requires California private insurance plans to pay for ALL COVID-19 testing received by you and your dependents at any time during the COVID-19 pandemic, at no cost to you. Additionally, federal funding via HRSA will no longer cover testing for those without insurance. To make sure you and your dependents receive the benefit of this new law, and so you do not receive a bill from us for COVID-19 testing, we need your insurance information now. Once you provide us with accurate insurance information, we will bill and accept payment from your insurance plan (at no out of pocket cost to you or your dependents) for any COVID-19 testing received from us in the past or in the future. But without your accurate insurance information, we cannot help you and your dependents to receive the benefit of this new law.

Please contact Covid Clinic at k12@covidclinic.org with any questions.

• Testing occurs weekly on Thursday. Students will only be tested if a parents have registered.
• If you want to register your student, please visit https://school.covidclinic.org/register. Registrations must be completed by Wednesday at 8am to be included in the Thursday testing.
• If you had previously opted in, but want to opt-out, please email k12@covidclinic.org.
• Remember that the consent is the same for both the COVID Clink Kiosk and our site testing.  Again, this is optional.

Chronic Medical Conditions…???

If your student has a chronic medical condition that exhibits much like a COVID-19 symptom, please ask your student’s doctor to fill out this Certification of Chronic Medical Condition and turn it into our office at your earliest convenience. This will allow us to avoid sending your child home for chronic symptoms that could be mistaken for COVID-19.
