DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. - April 16, 2020 - Helix Urgent Care announced today it is providing both COVID-19 viral testing and immunity testing at it's Deerfield Beach clinic. By doing so, Helix provides the fastest path for first responders, law enforcement and medical personnel to return to work safely.
According to Robert Rodriguez, CEO of Helix Urgent Care, "Safely returning to work for the masses requires developing immunity to COVID-19 or a vaccine. Asymptomatic patients, the bulk of the population, are completely in the dark. This is a frustrating status for all patients. Maybe you had it? Maybe you can still get it and spread it? Maybe you can't? We can address all these questions now with one medical visit and some labs."
Helix Urgent Care CEO went on to add, "Currently we are accepting in-network insurance for the medical evaluation but insurance does not cover the cost of the immunity tests and only some qualify for a PCR viral swab. We aren't happy about it but we are hoping to pass that thru to the insurance carriers as soon as possible. Regardless, back-to-work speed and risk management for both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients is vitally important."
According to the CDC, as of today, Broward County has 3,459 cases and 101 deaths; Palm Beach County presents 1,841 cases and 110 deaths, and Martin County has 140 cases and 4 deaths.
Due to the limited number of tests available, Helix Urgent Care is advising you to call 888-94-HELIX to confirm availability and testing needs. Employers can ask to speak to Business Development for on-site or in-office testing or by emailing bizdev@helixcares.com
