CHECK THIS LINK FOR YOUR LOT NUMBER ON YOUR BinaxNOW Covid Tests for the extended expiration date:
Previously, it was on https://ohio.emed.com/ but the link has been removed.
The good news is that as of mid-Dec 2021, Abbott Labs is apparently shipping only kits with printed expiration dates well into 2022.

I’ve had no problem leaving Italy, except one time when I forgot I had manually selected the cellphone provider and couldn’t get a signal in the airport. Check was at the gate and I almost didn’t get on. Ever since, I’ve been taking screen shots of everything.

Azova and Flowflex
The flowflex boxes are a lot smaller and easier to pack than Binaxnow and I think the test itself is easier to administer.

Wife and I took emed tests this am, but stupidly hit skip when we reached the NAVICA link so there’s nothing showing in that app. Will a hard copy of the pdf attached to the email suffice? FWIW, there’s no QR code on it. This is for flying from Madrid to the US on Iberia.

I'm buying kits for the first time. We want to reenter the US from Canada. Is $150 for a 6 pack a typical price to pay?

How many days in advance do I need to schedule the proctor? We won't have internet for several days but will on the first day of the trip and the final day of the trip.

In Italy on Monday, three of us had to wait 12 minutes each to get a proctor. I never had to wait previously. Maybe it was just a blip, but a wait might be experienced. Once connected, the rest of the time is as stated.

I noticed that eMed only seems to offer FedEx overnight shipping. Am I missing something to select a different shipping method, or is that all they offer?

Heads up, my SO tore off both the covering and aches I’ve strips right before closing it. Luckily sticky part went back on, test stuck closed, and they counted it.

Can anyone confirm if they’ve changed the process to purchase the kits?
i want to get a 6-pack to cover our requirements for us (fam of 4) to come back to the US from SIN. When I go through there purchase process - it asks for my name, address, etc. however, I thought when I mocked this process a few months ago, it wanted names of all individuals who would use the tests. Just wanted to make sure I’m not doing anything wrong, and can buy these under my name for use for all of us.
i do understand we’d all need separate Emed accounts after purchase (although I’m not sure how it works for my younger kids - presumably they can be under one of the adult account?). Just want to make sure I’m not missing anything in the process that won’t allow us to all be able to use a test kit from a single order.

does anybody know of any emed alternatives that don't charge for shipping but are still accepted for travel?
Thanks

Azova. You buy tests at the store and pay $20 for the video monitoring. Look on their website for which tests are approved. Last time I checked, Flowflex were approved which are available at Target, Costco and I think Walgreens. $6-$10 each and reimbursable by insurance. The $20 monitoring is not reimbursable.

What's the expiration date for tests ordered today from emed?
I see that the Wiki says "well into 2022", which isn't very specific, especially since we're in June.
Abbott Letterhead (healthvermont.gov) lists expiration dates as early as July. Are these still being sold?
