Net Medical’s Adapts New FDA Rules on Test-To-Treat Service

ALBUQUERQUE, NM / ACCESSWIRE / July 12, 2022 / Net Medical (OTC PINK:NMXS) said today it has adapted new Federal Drug Administration (FDA) rules that provide free COVID treatments through pharmacy prescriptions in the company's Test-to-Treat program. The new rules provide greater access to timely treatments.

Following a Net Medical consultation, infected patients can now take the company's test report directly to a state-licensed pharmacist who can prescribe Paxlovid, Pfizer's COVID-19 antiviral treatment.

This comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revised its emergency use authorization of the drug last week for people who have been recently infected and are at high risk for severe disease.

Previously, only licensed doctors, nurses, and physician assistants were allowed to prescribe the treatment to patients. Experts say the adjustment recognizes the important role pharmacists have played and continue to play in the fight against COVID-19.

Net Medical CEO Dick Govatski said, "This change further expedites the treatment of those diagnosed by our Test-to-Treat program. We are continuing to work closely with the FDA for more effective solutions in dealing with COVID. Our daily tests are currently showing up to 20% of those tested on a daily basis are infected with COVID. While new strains of the disease appear to be less deadly than in the past, the prevalence of COVID in the general public is continuing."

Net Medical's Test-To-Treat program is particularly valuable for those living in rural areas in New Mexico and Arizona where testing services are limited.

Net Medical is among the few companies currently accepting insurance from all major carriers for telemedicine services. In addition, Net Medical is directly linked to the New Mexico Department of Health website.
