Simplified Monoclonal Antibody (mAb) Therapy Referral Process

  • Providers do NOT need to obtain consent and treatment authorization or send an order when referring a qualifying patient for mAb Therapy.
  • Referring providers only need to determine that the patient qualifies and fax the mAb Patient Pre-Screening and Referral Checklist to the MHC mAb Support Line.

COVID-19 Virtual Clinic Closed/Continue to Screen for COVID-19

  • Due to decreased demand for COVID-19 testing and increased availability of rapid testing options, we have closed the COVID-19 Virtual Clinic.
  • A reminder that the Healthcare Team should continue to do daily self-screening either using the mobile self-screening tool or in-person screening, whether vaccinated for COVID-19 or not. If you have any COVID-19 symptoms:
  • Employed providers: Call your Employee Health Office and EH will help determine if testing is needed and provide local rapid testing options.
  • Independent providers: Please contact your PCP to get tested, either through that office, your local HD, or a COVID-19 collection location.
  • Providers should inform their CMO if they test positive for COVID-19.
