Want to give an update. We did this for 3 people this morning. We had a 5:45 AM EST appointment slot for 3 people. We all sat together, she verified our information (name, DOB, sailing date, ship, etc). then we showed her the test boxes we had for the test. For this test we had 2 different text boxes. We used one Flow Flex and one box of Binax Now. They didn't care as long as it matched what I listed when I made the appointments. I was clear to list that I was using One Flow Flex and 2 Binax Now. One box could be shared by two people they said. We opened the boxes in front of them and all three of us did our test at the same time. We angled the laptop camera at such a way and we sat close enough that they could see us all doing the test at once.
Since we were familiar with the tests already, she didn't give us any instructions just watched. We proceeded to use the tests like normal and just let her know when we were waiting for the results. She stayed on the line with us finishing verifying our information, confirming email address, etc while the test was "cooking". Once enough time had passed, we each showed her our test results at the camera, she verified they read negative and said we would get a document in about 15 minutes to one email. Since I had used my email to register for the appointment, all 3 test results came to my email as 3 PDFs. That was great and super easy for me to then upload into Safe Passage where they now wait approval as I write this.
A few things - the timing on the test result does show ONE hour earlier than my time zone - as they are in the Central Time Zone when they produce this test report. So I would be mindful of that and probably not schedule anything before at least 1 am ET on the day that you want the test.
We did register ourselves on the healthtracksRx site that they send in the confirmation email. It was super easy and I did not upload any insurance information on that site since not using insurance for this. No issues getting everything through even without uploading my insurance information.
They did not ask about expiration date or ask to see the expiration date on tests before doing it (ours were not expired and I told her that they are good tests until 2023).
When you create your healthtracksRx account you get a confirmation number. It is a bunch of numbers and letters - and it is different for each person. You need that number for each person before doing the test. I used my cell phone for all 3 of us so I had all 3 numbers already (in case anyone is doing for parent or minor this was super easy to manage with me getting all the information as the Dad).
I will definitely use them again based on this experience if testing is needed in the future (not trying to sell anything just giving my opinion on what I will do). I will update this post once Safe Passage tells me I am all clear to sail making sure that what they sent me is accepted by them (by my read it should be just fine).
Also, I should note that I made this appointment around 6 pm on Monday and tested Tuesday morning. When I paid and made my appointment on Monday, there were a lot of time slots open for Tuesday morning - including times up to 4 am ET, then a few times between 4 and 8 am ET (most were gone) and then a lot more time slots available after 8 am ET. So one could get a last minute appointment for testing if needed.
Happy to answer any questions about OnPoint. Happy Cruising!
