Facts about COVID-19 treatments
Most COVID-19 treatments are pills that you take at home. COVID-19 medications are free in California. You don’t need to have insurance or be a U.S. citizen.
COVID-19 medications work best when started as soon as possible, within the first 5-7 days of symptoms. If you think you may have COVID, don’t wait for symptoms to get worse.
COVID-19 medications are safe and effective at stopping COVID-19 illness from getting serious. They can lower the risk of serious illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19 by half or more.
COVID-19 medications may help you test negative sooner and may reduce the risk of long COVID symptoms.*
COVID-19 medications are recommended for people 12 years and older who have certain health conditions or other common factors that increase risk. A doctor can tell you if you are eligible to receive COVID-19 medications and which type is best for you.
COVID-19 medications are effective whether you are vaccinated or not.
If you test positive for COVID-19, have symptoms, and meet the following criteria, you should seek treatment:
You are 50 years old or older –OR–
You are unvaccinated or not up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations –OR–
You have a health condition or other factors that increase risk. These include obesity, asthma, diabetes, lack of physical activity, smoking, mental health conditions such as depression, being of a racial/ethnic minority, and more. Learn more about medical conditions that increase the risk of serious illness from COVID-19. Click here for more information on mental health and mood conditions.
* Early evidence suggests that the COVID-19 medication Paxlovid may decrease the risk of developing long COVID symptoms. These symptoms can last for weeks, months or years after a COVID-19 infection.

With the current public health situation that our country is experiencing, it is necessary for IEHP to take additional precautions to ensure the health and well-being of our community. These precautions are being reviewed, and discussed daily, by our Executive leadership team and will be implemented as deemed necessary. Future COVID-19 precautions may include reduced on-site staffing and prioritization of electronic payments over printed checks.
To minimize any disruption or delay in payment, we recommend that you sign up for electronic payments as soon as possible if you have not done so already. Our team is available to assist you with the necessary paperwork required to make this change or to answer any questions you may have. The team can be reached by e-mailing vendormaintenance@iehp.org or by calling (909) 294-3928 and selecting Option 1.
