I need a letter from my doctor for work or school.
The following standard letters can be provided to an employer or school that request a letter from a doctor.

I need a COVID-19 test for travel. Can you provide it?
If you need a test to travel, it’s not guaranteed that you will receive a result within 72 hours of departure or that the format of the results provided will meet the specific requirments for your trip. The results from our drive-through testing site include whether COVID-19 was "Detected" or "Not Detected," along with the person's name, DOB, test type, and date tested. You also have the option to print a specific report that is approved for travel to Hawaii.
For travel COVID testing, you may need to use a private company specializing in travel, or at a provider's office. Discovery Health might be a good option, as they are familiar with requirements for different countries and help provide the necessary paperwork for each destination.
For more travel requirements and recommendations, please visit the King County COVID travel page.
What is COVID-19 antibody testing, and can HealthPoint test me for antibodies?
HealthPoint is not currently testing for COVID-19 antibodies.
We are following recommendations of experts at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and Washington Department of Health. Right now, these organizations are not recommending antibody testing for most people, because these tests often give false results.
Scientists do not know yet if antibody tests can prove if a person is immune to COVID-19.
The antibody test:
- Does NOT test for immunity to COVID-19
- CANNOT tell you if you could get COVID-19 in the future
- CANNOT diagnose if you are currently infected with COVID-19
- CANNOT prove that someone is not contagious
If you have other questions about antibody testing, please schedule a phone visit with your HealthPoint medical provider.
The best way to prevent getting or spreading COVID-19 is to practice social distancing, wash your hands frequently, cover your cough/sneeze, and wear a mask in public.
