COVID-19: At-Home Collection Kit





The State of Wisconsin and Vault Medical Services have teamed up to offer a new COVID-19 testing option for everyone who lives in Wisconsin, with or without symptoms, at no cost. This new service allows people to collect their own saliva samples for testing in their home. The capacity is expected to expand over time.
Step one: Request an at-home collection kit

Request an at-home collection kit using the button below. A collection kit will be delivered directly to your home; PO boxes are not eligible to have kits delivered.
Step two: Collect your sample

Once you receive your collection kit, you must collect the sample in the presence of a licensed health care professional over a virtual Zoom call (Download Zoom(link is external)). Once you have downloaded Zoom and are ready to produce a saliva sample, you may join a virtual waiting room(link is external).
Step three: Send in your sample

After you have collected your saliva sample, you will need to drop off your collection kit at a UPS drop-off location(link is external).
