eMed Antigen test for non-family member

[peytonhead]

Hello all.  We had purchased the eMed test kits for our cruise next week.  Question...one of our travel companions is a friend of our sons.  I was able to add her to our profile with NAVICA.  Has anyone had a test under their profile for a non-family member?  Her parents will be here when we do the testing?  Will her parents need to create an account for her and will they be able to use the test we bought already or does she just need to go get one from Walgreens or somewhere?

Don’t think they care who uses the test.  I would have her (or her parents) set up an account for her but she can certainly use one of your test kits.

NAVICA does not care who takes a test. You have to create a NAVICA account and register the test in the account for the person being tested, Each person being tested has to have a separate account.  To do this download the NAVICA App on your "travel companion's" phone. You don't mention his/her age or if he/she is or is not a minor. Here's what I found when asked the question can a minor establish a NAVICA account:

How does a user get a test for a child or other dependent who doesn’t have their own email address to create a NAVICA account? In the NAVICA app or at www.mynavica.abbott, once a user has created their account, they can create Managed Profiles for children and other dependents who might not have a separate email address or are otherwise unable to create a separate NAVICA account. The account will display separate NAVICA IDs (used for obtaining a test from a distribution site) and NAVICA passes (used to show test results) for each profile on an account. When a user initiates a test through ohio.emed.com, they will be asked which person on the account is being tested, and the results will be reported for the appropriate user.

My advise is to have your travel companion download the NAVICA app on his/her phone and set up a separate account using his/her own email if he/she has one. If that doesn't work in your situation then refer to above. Download the NAVICA App to your phone (Android or iPhone) and create the account for your travel companion from there.

I would have the child’s parent set up an account rather than having her on your account as she is not your dependent.  Probably doesn’t make a difference but just to be safe.

You cannot use the Walgreens test that are over the counter unless it is a proctored test.  The NAVICA tests (binaxnow) are not the same when you get them from Walgreens.
