ACB and the Department of Health and Human Services Announce that More 
Accessible COVID-19 At-Home Tests are Now Available


 

On June 22, 2022, the federal government announced a new initiative to expand 
the availability of testing options that are more accessible for people who are 
blind and low vision and who use a smartphone. Now, people who are blind and 
low vision may order more accessible COVID-19 at-home tests. When connected to 
a smartphone application, these tests are capable of providing audible testing 
instructions and results to make the COVID-19 testing process more private and 
independent for people who are blind and low vision.

 

“ACB and our members have long fought for accessibility improvements to our 
nation’s healthcare system, including accessible home diagnostic tests and 
durable medical equipment”, said ACB President Dan Spoone. “This announcement 
and program marks an important first step to provide more accessible COVID-19 
at-home tests for people who are blind or low vision.”

 

“Similar to other aspects of our lives and advocacy work, we realize that the 
accessibility of at-home medical testing is a journey, not a destination, and 
that these improved offerings from the federal COVID-19 at-home testing service 
will reduce but not eliminate accessibility barriers for people who are blind 
or low vision, especially for ACB members and the broader community of people 
who do not use a smartphone and who do not have access to broadband services”, 
said ACB Executive Director Eric Bridges. “ACB remains resolute in our advocacy 
efforts to make all forms of at-home medical testing, remote monitoring, and 
diagnostic equipment and services independently and privately accessible for 
people who are blind or low vision.”

 

To receive the more accessible COVID-19 at-home tests from the federal 
government, consumers may
