Monoclonal Antibody & Antiviral Treatments

Due to nation-wide supply shortages, monoclonal antibody treatment appointments and antiviral treatments are extremely limited. Please work with your primary care provider or walk in at a CMM Urgent Care to determine if you are a candidate for this treatment. Patients should receive a phone call to schedule within 24-48 business hours after an order is received from their primary care provider or Urgent Care provider.

Vail Health offers monoclonal antibody and antiviral treatments  to individuals who qualify after testing positive for COVID-19. To see if you’re a good candidate please speak with your primary care provider or visit your local Urgent Care Provider.  You must have a prescription from your provider to get the treatment. Since the treatment is provided through the federal government, our supply varies and is sometimes limited or unavailable.
 
What is a monoclonal antibody treatment?  
It’s a boost to the immune system after you are already sick. It speeds up your body’s response to the virus. For individuals who are currently sick, it has shown to improve symptoms.  It does not prevent you from getting COVID-19 nor does it offer the same protection as the vaccines do.  If you would like to learn more, please check out the fact sheets below:
What is an antiviral treatment?  
It helps your body fight off the virus. For individuals who are currently sick, it has shown to improve symptoms.  It does not prevent you from getting COVID-19 nor does it offer the same protection as the vaccines do.  If you would like to learn more, please check out the fact sheets below:
How does it compare to the vaccine?
While monoclonal antibody treatments and antivirals are a good option for certain individuals who are currently sick with COVID-19, it’s not a preventative measure like the COVID-19 vaccine is. These treatments are suitable for those over the age of 12, and who are at high risk for a complication (i.e. patients who are obese, pregnant, have chronic renal disease and/or diabetes). 
 
How much does the treatment cost?
Treatment with the COVID-19 monoclonal antibodies is done through a one-time intravenous (IV) infusion.  We do not charge for the drug itself. However, there will be an infusion fee to cover our cost for administering the drug.    There is no charge for the oral antiviral drug. 

The treatment will be run through your insurance, if insured. The covered amount is based on your insurance carrier and we recommend you reach out to your insurance company for specifics. If you do not have insurance, Vail Health offers certain self pay discounts. Contact Patient Financial Services at (833) 270-4530 for more info.

For Providers:

The screening and request form acts as a prescription and thus must be completed by a licensed provider.  The form must be completed in its entirety by the provider. The consent is required in order for treatment to be ordered and mAb or prophylaxis to be scheduled or prescription for oral antiviral to be filled.  The provider must review the consent with the patient along with the appropriate Emergency Use Authorization Fact Sheet(s) for the treatment(s) that are being considered.  Treatment will not be ordered without a signed consent.  Once both forms have been reviewed and filled out please send them to us via email (use this for mAb or antiviral) or (use this for prophylaxis) and we will review and reach out to the patient within 1 business day.
