Question... When ordering the Abbott BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 Ag Card Home Test with eMed Telehealth Services for Travel - 2 Pack I am asked several questions about my purchase. Does this mean the 2 pack test is only for one person or can I also have my wife take the other test or does she also need to buy the 2 pack test for herself?? Dumb question I guess but I don't understand the purpose of the questions before I make the purchase. Any help would be most appreciated. At the time you actually complete the purchase of the test, you will be asked for the name(s) of the people that will be taking the test. Also, create an individual account for each person being tested in the Navica app.

Thanks but I know how to take the test. What I was hoping for was how to use the test with someone watching to use to get back into the US. Laptop works best. But you can also use a tablet or smart phone.

Just re-reading this very informative post. Is BinaxNow the ONLY home test allowed for US return? I have no experience with it, but Qured also has a home test for travel. Qured Link

There are at least 5 rapid antigen test solutions that are proctored and accepted for travel back into the USA. The links below will take you to 2 different articles that will cover these solutions and most likely answer all of your questions. If there is more that you need to know, please just ask. The first article is from 6 Dec 21 and the 2nd article is from 14 Jan 22. There is some overlap in information. Article 1 - Covering 3 testsArticle 2 - covering 4 testsHope this helps.

Thank you Tom for the link to the company you used. I now have two tests ordered and on its way for our upcoming trip next month. Issues have been known to happen. I would have two per person in case of error! I had an issue where I didn’t twirl the swab in the card and it was disqualified!! Had to start over with a new test.

We are considering it for our next trip because we come home on a Monday, so would need to get tested on Sunday or Monday. I am too anal to get tested on the day of, so we will need to get tested on Sunday. The storefront locations are not open on Sunday. So we will need to either do a home test or get a nurse to come to our place.

Yes, that would be my concern, getting good wifi. Royal Palm wifi has historically been pretty bad.

" I think it is time for US to eliminate testing rule for the flights back to US - or at least for those who are vaccinated. Just my opinion." I would agree with that but just for US citizens.
Supposedly, most of the major airlines feel the same way and have contacted politicians about it as it is hindering or stopping some from international travel. LINK

honestly, Im debating the same vs the binax homeAG. I don't recall wifi at the Royal Islander but not sure where to get the tests near Maho vs take the $150 plunge. Anyone know if Sonesta or RIC have testing sites? Ive sent an email to RIC. Keep y'all posted if I hear anything Yes to RI having Wi-Fi. And yes to them having testing. I’m not sure the costs but I have read on several pages on FB that they offer testing right there

So the test must be proctored. The BinaxNow tests which CVS sells do not qualify? Correct.

In response to FatCat04, the captain and others; I contacted Emed customer service, please see response below:

Hello, I'm more than glad to assist you today. Yes, you can share the six pack kit as long as each individual has their own Navica account. I hope this information helps. Best, Ross eMed Customer Support
The fact that the site only allows you to initially associate only three names is somewhat misleading. They do this to encourage you to buy two tests per person, in my opinion.
