Do I have to have a prescription to order a test?

Under CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) regulations, testing varies by state and requires a written or electronic request for patient testing (493.1241). The exception to this regulation is those states that allow Direct Access Testing (DAT), which allows consumers to test without a physician-authorized requisition.

Paloma Health works with a physician network to authorize all test requisitions in every state where we offer our testing kits. For any questions, please feel free to email us at contact@palomahealth.com. We currently do not offer our At-Home Test Kits in New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island.
