The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics MyChart app has a new feature that can determine if you should get a COVID-19 test…and it also lets you schedule it.
UIHC officials say the feature should be used if you are experiencing symptoms that make you wonder if you have COVID-19 (including fever of 100° F or higher, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, sore throat, or loss of taste), or have been around someone who has a confirmed positive COVID-19 test.
If you’re between the ages of 18 and 55, the new Symptom Checker service can help you quickly determine if you need to schedule a COVID-19 test or a telehealth video visit.
To use the new feature:
- Log into MyChart.
- Click “symptom checker” under the left-hand menu.
- Answer a brief set of questions.
- Based on your answers you’ll be directed to the next step.
