COVID-19 treatment works best if you take it within a few days of testing positive. If you test positive or think you have COVID-19, contact your health care provider as soon as you can to see if treatment is appropriate. Or, you may be able to access telehealth directly. Many commercial insurance companies provide telehealth services for their members. Contact your insurance company to see if that is an option for you.
CDPHE also maintains a list of telehealth options at https://covid19.colorado.gov/telehealth-treatment#Providers.
