What should you do if you feel sick or are concerned you’ve been exposed to COVID-19?

If you have symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath,
You should contact your doctor, who will determine if a COVID-19 test is appropriate.
If you’re not showing symptoms but think you may have been exposed,
You can call Highmark’s COVID-19 Hotline at 1-833-227-9377, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. We can help you find the testing location nearest to you, understand your coverage options, and provide contact details.
In case of medical emergency, call 911.

Video Visits are a great alternative to visiting the ED or your doctor’s office
While calling 911 or going to the hospital is still recommended if you are severely injured or experiencing a health emergency, the CDC and other health authorities are recommending that people who have flu-like symptoms call their doctor’s office first to be screened before going into the office or to the emergency department. We are asking our patients to do the same, or to call the AHN 24/7 Nurse on-call line (412-Nurse4U).

But a video visit through MyChart may be the best option of all. Through the convenience of a computer, tablet or mobile device, you are just a few clicks away from a secure face-to-face connection with an AHN clinician who can discuss your symptoms and concerns, and prescribe the care regimen you need.
