The best way to stay ahead of serious health problems like colon cancer and diabetes is to see your doctor every year and have regular health screenings. Finding disease early, before it becomes serious, makes it easier to treat.
We know that many people have busy lives, so it’s not always easy to go the doctor for tests. That’s why we are working with LetsGetChecked to send free at-home test kits that you can complete when it’s convenient for you.
Getting tested early can help you:
- Stay healthier longer
- Avoid bigger health problems later
- Get treatment when it works best
The tests are free to eligible Priority Partners members.
At-home testing is an easy way to help you take control of your health.
Here’s what happens when you receive your LetsGetChecked at-home test:
- You will receive a test kit with detailed instructions and a prepaid envelope to send your completed test to the lab.
- Complete the test in the privacy and comfort of your own home — most tests take less than 15 minutes to complete.
- Then, simply send it off to the lab in the prepaid envelope that came with your kit. It’s that easy.
Soon after you complete your test and send it to the lab, you will receive results in the mail. If you have a primary care doctor, a copy of your results will be sent to them. We encourage you to discuss your results with your doctor.
Testing at home may be a good option for you and your doctor to manage your health.
It offers many convenient advantages:
- No special preparation is needed
- No need to make time for an appointment
- You can collect your test sample in the privacy of your own home
- Your test kit is delivered right to your door
- Free, prepaid shipping for sending your sample to the lab
