Protect yourself and your information from scammers

There have been reports of people trying to use the fear of COVID-19 to run scams. Some of these scams are over the phone, via email and others are in the home. These scams include promises of in-home testing for COVID-19 or to mail you an at-home test for the virus. These are not legitimate. If you do not know a caller or are unable to verify the call is legitimate, do not provide your personal information. Do not open your home to strangers. If you think you may have been scammed, report your experience by calling the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection at 1-800-422-7128 or online at www.DATCP.WI.gov.

Prevention, testing and treatment questions

How can I protect myself from getting sick?

COVID-19 spreads when you touch surfaces that have the virus on them, or via droplets from coughs or sneezes.
The best way to protect yourself and others from a number of illnesses, including COVID-19, is to wash your hands often, cover coughs and sneezes, and stay home when you are sick. Click here for more tips on how to protect yourself from COVID-19.

Are antibiotics effective in preventing or treating COVID-19?

No, antibiotics do not work against viruses; they only work on bacterial infections. Antibiotics do not prevent or treat coronavirus disease (COVID-19), because COVID-19 is caused by a virus, not bacteria. Some patients with COVID-19 may also develop a bacterial infection, such as pneumonia. In that case, a health care professional may treat the bacterial infection with an antibiotic.

Is chloroquine phosphate used to treat for COVID-19?

No. The US Food and Drug Administration has revoked chloroquine phosphate as a treatment for COVID-19.

How much will it cost me to get testing, treatment and vaccinations?

There will be no out-of-pocket costs for the COVID-19 vaccine.
See the table above for details on testing and treatment coverage based on your plan type.

If I have COVID-19, can I infect my pet? Can I get COVID-19 from my pet?

People sick with COVID-19 should limit contact with everyone – including animals. When possible, have another member of your household care for your animals while you are sick. If you are sick with COVID-19, avoid contact with your pet, including petting, snuggling, being kissed or licked, and sharing food. If you must care for your pet or be around animals while you are sick, wash your hands before and after you interact with pets. Global health organizations are monitoring the outbreak’s potential impact on animal health and will notify the public if new information becomes available.

What is telehealth?

Telehealth is an appointment with your health care provider done virtually. These appointments are done over a secure two-way interactive video connection or telephonically. Click here to read more about this option.

Pharmaceutical questions

I have seen /heard that some insurances are allowing early refills on medications due to COVID and recommendations to avoid crowds and stay home. May I have an early refill on my medication?

You may obtain a one-time early refill supply for each medication for the maximum quantity defined in your plan benefits. We are continuously monitoring the COVID situation and will re-evaluate if further quantities or early refills may be necessary as the situation evolves.
All of Security Health Plan’s individual and family plans, employer coverage and Medicare plan with Part D prescription drug coverage allow up to a 90-day supply for chronic maintenance medications. All specialty medications are limited to a one-month supply.

I am at increased risk for COVID due to age (elderly), immunocompromised, or chronic health condition (examples include lung disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular disease such as congestive heart failure, uncontrolled diabetes); should I go in to the pharmacy to pick up my prescriptions?

Our recommendation is to avoid situations in which there may be large crowds to reduce your risk of potential exposure to the virus. We suggest that you contact your pharmacy to request your medication be delivered via mail. If your pharmacy does not mail, Marshfield Clinic Pharmacies can obtain your prescription and mail your refill to your home address. Please call (or transfer caller to) 715-389-5900. Please allow at least 7 days for your package to arrive.
You may also use our contracted mail order pharmacy at MedImpact Direct. Information can be accessed here: https://www.securityhealth.org/providers/tools-and-resources/pharmacy-resources or members can phone (855) 873-8739 (TTY dial 711).

I am planning on traveling for vacation and want to be sure that I have enough medication for vacation plus extra in case of a quarantine situation. Can I obtain an early refill?

All of Security Health Plan’s individual and family plans, employer coverage and Medicare plan with Part D prescription drug coverage allow up to a 90-day supply for chronic maintenance medications. All specialty medications are limited to a one-month supply.

Will I be allowed more than a 30- or 90-day supply on refills?

All of Security Health Plan’s individual and family plans, employer coverage and Medicare plans with Part D prescription drug coverage allow up to a 90-day supply for chronic maintenance medications. Marketplace plans are also temporarily eligible for a 90-day supply. Exceptions are Schedule II controlled substances, which are limited to a 34-day supply per federal law, and specialty medications which are limited to a one-month supply.

Is there a shortage of acetaminophen (Tylenol® and ibuprofen (Advil®)?

Some stores may have limited stock of acetaminophen (Tylenol®) and ibuprofen (Advil®) due to increase demands from health systems and patients. However, there is still stock available (though sometimes low and/or intermittent) for stores to purchase at this time.
Some stores and pharmacies have also placed limits on how many bottles of these pain relievers are allowed to be bought at one time, to help ration the supply available.
Please do not buy OTC pain relievers out of impulse or in excessive amounts during this time. This then makes the products less available to people who do not have any at home and need them for such things as chronic pain or fever.

What are alternative pain treatment options if needed?

If individuals are seeking alternative OTC options for pain and achy joints, consider topical products (e.g., creams, patches) such as capsaicin, lidocaine, and menthol which are available under various brand names. Naproxen is a similar medicine to ibuprofen and can be used as an alternative to ibuprofen. Please read and follow the directions on the product labeling carefully and reach out to your health care provider or pharmacist if you have any questions on their use.
You may also consider alternative options to medicines, such as hot (e.g., heating pads) or cold therapy (ice packs) for relief during this time. If you do use a heating pad be sure NOT to place the heating pad over a medicated patch or medicated topicals (e.g., creams, ointments) as this may increase the risk of adverse events associated with the medicated patch or topical.

Should NSAIDs [e.g., ibuprofen (Advil®), naproxen (Aleve®)] be used as a treatment option for patient with symptoms of COVID-19?

Currently, we have no evidence that NSAIDs increase the risk of serious complications or acquiring the virus that causes COVID-19.
Available NSAIDs include (not all inclusive): celecoxib, diclofenac, etodolac, ibuprofen, indomethacin, ketoprofen, ketorolac, meloxicam, nabumetone, naproxen, oxaprozin, piroxicam
NSAIDs can also have adverse kidney and GI effects particularly in patients who are older, have multiple comorbidities and/or are immunocompromised, which are the populations that are at highest risk for severe COVID-19 infection. In high risk patients, acetaminophen is commonly recommended as an alternative for treatment of fever.

Will the revocation of the emergency use authorization (EUA) impact the use of hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) or chloroquine phosphate (CQ) for their FDA-approved uses?

No, the revocation does not change the approvals of these drugs. Some versions of CQ are approved for the treatment of malaria, and HCQ is still approved for the treatment of malaria, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis. FDA has determined that the drugs are safe and effective for these uses when used in accordance with their FDA-approved labeling, and patients prescribed these drugs for their approved uses should continue to take them as directed by their healthcare providers. There is no new information that impacts FDA’s conclusions about the safety and efficacy of CQ or HCQ for their currently approved uses.
