Go to the EHAS site, find the phone number there and call them directly. I wouldn’t fool around retesting until you define the problem they had with the original submission, assuming it was the same as the others in your party.
Or, as was the case the first time this happened to me, we resubmitted the original application and ultimately it was approved. However, there were a few grief filled hours between the second submission and the approval.
Good luck…..
Respectfully,

Go to "contact" on the EHAS page. Give them the details and use the email address for the person whose test was denied. They do a great job responding. Also explain it was the IDNow and that it is a NAAT test which is PCR. Also, immediately resubmit the application.

Quick question speaking of ID Now. I just wanted to make sure I have this right. I sent an email to EHAS but haven't heard back from them yet. The ID Now test that's given at Walgreen's is considered a PCR test by SXM EHAS, is this correct? I'm trying to figure out if I should get an appointment 72 or 48 hours before I leave. Thanks, I'm sure this has been hashed and rehashed, just looking for confirmation to set my mind at ease. Thank you.
ID now is acceptable for the 72hr window.

Wingman and Terri--SXM EHAS has sent emails stating that they consider ID Now a PCR test, so it is a 72 hour timeframe. Terri--ID Now is offered FREE at Walgreen's. You can only make an appointment 3 days in advance, but it is a good choice.

Thank you all so much for your help. That is how I was reading it and just wanted to confirm and put my mind at ease. 1st time back in 2 years now. Have never been away from the island this long. Leaving next Friday.
Terri, see you in a couple of weeks. We leave to come home on Nov 5th. I understand you'll be arriving with Rit a few days before. See you both then at BSV. Mike, So once again we're like ships passing................we arrive on 11/5 on the JB midday flight. One of these years we'll be there to see you, even if only briefly. We'll be checking into #14, possibly as you check out? Hope the trip was all you wanted it to be and then some and we are both so very happy that this one worked out for you. Lord knows you deserve it to be after the past couple of years.
Respectfully,
pat

moontide,
So very happy it all worked out for you in the end. We had approval issues in November of 2020 and again in April of 2021. I know first hand how distressing this can be so I am very happy it all worked out for you.
Respectfully,

Good news Moontide---yes, they should recognize it at EHAS, and also at labs, who you count on for guidance. Mike see you on the 2nd!!!! Carol, we have so many places to be tested, but not too many who seem to do the IDNow test, or recognize it, Walgreens close by, don't do them. Thanks

Good work on the resubmit....and just for clarification...The ID-Now test is not "considered" a PCR test.....it IS a PCR test
Edit: I just completely read you post and saw that you are in MA (or near BOS).....as we are....and there are a decent number of daily appointments within a reasonable driving distance (Walgree's/CVS) that just need advance planning and an early AM try....and for zero bucks. Maybe you had an outlier day but I check daily and the situation is the same....CVS.(PCR)..10 days in advance with PLENTY of appointments....Walgreen's..PCR ID-Now) .three days in advance with fewer availabilities but still some at almost every location...

My opinion is that $160 for a test that is available for no cost is just not right... 👍for sure.
