If you have health insurance we will bill your insurance for the vaccine. While the majority of people will not be charged, there's no guarantee. Always check with your insurance first to determine how much you will have to pay.
For people without health insurance, we will use our sliding scale discount program. Most people will not pay for COVID or flu vaccines, but we can review the cost with you before you get your shot.
-
Some people experience symptoms like body aches, fatigue, nausea, fever, and soreness at the injection site. These are normal and mean your immune system is working hard to build antibodies and immunity to the virus. Visit here for more information on side effects of specific vaccines.

Call or text us at 541.386.6380 for Oregon clinics, 509.493.2133 for White Salmon, and 509.427.4212 for Stevenson. All tests are by appointment only.

At-home tests are almost as accurate as a test that you would get in the clinic. Most importantly, you have a very, very low chance of having a false positive result from an at-home test. There have been instances of a false negative result, meaning you test negative but you actually do have COVID-19. For this reason, if you have COVID-19 symptoms it is very important that you still assume you have COVID-19 and follow the CDC's recommendations. If you do have symptoms and a negative result, repeat testing at least 2 more times over 3 days, with 48 hours between tests.
-
No. At-home tests are accurate enough that you do not need to confirm you have COVID-19 with a test in the clinic. False positive tests are very, very rare. Please assume you have COVID-19 and follow the CDC guidelines.
-
It may not be clear if your at-home test kit is really expired. Although each box has a date, many brands have received extensions from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Extending a product’s shelf-life is not uncommon practice and happens when manufacturers demonstrate that a product still performs effectively after the initial expiration date.
To check if your test kit is really expired you can visit the manufacturer or the FDA website and look for your test-kit lot number.
FDA Website for expiration date extensions for all brands: HERE

You can easily find a record of your COVID-19 tests through your MyChart account.
-
Most insurance companies cover the cost of a test for medical reasons, but you should always contact your insurance company to confirm benefits. OCH offers free at-home test kits in all of our clinics as supplies allow.
-
To remain accurate an at-home test might need to be kept from getting too cold or too hot. Check the box label for that test's requirements.
How do I get treatment for COVID and flu?
One Community Health offers COVID-19 and flu antiviral treatments at all clinics for people without insurance as long as supplies remain available.
Similar to vaccines, access to COVID antiviral treatments will continue with no out-of-pocket costs for most people. However, out-of-pocket expenses for antiviral medicines like Paxlovid, Lagevrio (molnupiravir), and Tamiflu may change depending on an individual’s health insurance, similar to costs that you might experience for other covered medicines.
As of September 2025, Oregon Medicaid (Oregon Health Plan) covers Paxlovid and Lagevrio. Washington Medicaid (Apple Health) covers antiviral treatments but requires a prior authorization from your provider.
If you are not a patient of One Community Health, we recommend getting treatment from your regular doctor to ensure continuity of care.
