At-Home (OTC) COVID-19 Test Order

This order form is for organizations authorized by the California Department of Public Health to order At-Home (Over-the-Counter, OTC) tests. 

Note: This order form is intended for organizations outside of Los Angeles County.

Los Angeles County organizations can access at-home testing resources through LA County Department of Public Health. Please do not use this form; for more information, please visit LA County At-Home Testing Resources.

 

As of February 29, 2024, the CDPH At-Home Testing Program has come to an end for most organizations.

Local health departments (LHDs), skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), long-term care facilities (LTCFs) and elder care facilities can request at-home tests until June 30, 2024, or when testing resources are exhausted, to support populations who are high risk for severe disease. 

If your organization is experiencing a COVID-19 outbreak, please contact your Local Department of Public Health. At-home tests requested through CDPH should be prioritized for priority populations (those who are uninsured, underinsured, have poor access to medical care, or are at high risk for severe disease).
