Tri-County Health Care is changing the COVID-19 test result notification process.
In an effort to reduce clinical workload, negative test results will be predominantly communicated via MyChart and mail. Patients with positive test results will be contacted by phone and MyChart.
It is strongly recommended that patients sign up and use MyChart. This service allows for the efficient distribution of medical information and instructions, including test results, according to a Tri-County news release. Patients often receive test results much faster by utilizing MyChart. You can sign up for MyChart on TCHC.org/mychart .
