handbellplayer Posted August 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I just signed on to try to get an appointment for testing at Walgreens on Friday. I went through the entire questionnaire (truthfully) and at the end I got this: "We're sorry, we can't schedule this test type because you don't meet federal testing eligibility criteria." Has anyone else had this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlightDraw Posted August 16, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Are you seeking a COVID-19 test because of high transmission rates and difficulty maintaining recommended social distancing? if you said no to this go back and say yes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallux Posted August 16, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Is there a reason you require the Walgreens test rather than using the at-home proctored kits that can be bought online (or the free government tests that can be proctored for a $20 fee)?

We have appointments with RTT for Thursday morning. I'm scheduling these as a backup for Friday. UPDATE: Thanks for the advice above. It worked!

Has anyone else had this issue? Yes, I ran into this at a couple places some time ago. I actually ended up going to my primary Doc and they did a test for me. If we have to test again in the future, which I doubt at this point, we will use the Telehealth option. Edit: Oops! I see that you already resolved this. Good deal.

dolittle Posted August 16, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 16, 2022 We had a lot of stress with this (won't cruise till it is gone). Also had trouble at Wallgreens we are lucky our county has free no ques. testing in a mall parking lot . Did it in the car two hours later e-mailed us results printed them out and end of drama. It is very stressful hope it works out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
