Thank you for choosing binx health for your COVID-19 testing needs! Read on for some important pointers to properly collect your COVID-19 sample. Properly collecting a sample is important, because if you do not properly collect your sample, it could be rejected by the lab and delay your ability to get your test result.
If you have already received your sample collection kit, please refer to the Instructions included in your kit.
Order your COVID-19 sample collection kit: To order your kit, you can go to mybinxhealth.com/covid and scroll to the bottom of the webpage and select “request a test” and click on your cart. After filling out a questionnaire, you may then place an order for a kit. Please note that you may order one test per unique binx account.
If you are testing through an employer or university program, your process will look a little different. Your testing and pickup location may vary, so please contact your administration for more specific information on where and when to test.
Important Reminders! Once your COVID-19 sample collection kit has arrived, please review the following reminders to ensure that your sample is shipped out on time and viable for laboratory analysis.
