I posted an article on how to get fast online approval for laboratory tests with MediCard<\/a> in 2016 and since then (and especially when this pandemic started) I have been deluged by inquiries on a daily basis.  I usually just redirect all inquiries to the Medicard website<\/a> but the inquiries just won\u2019t stop!  Here is why:<\/p>\n\n\n

As you can see the MediCard Online LOA tab that was indicated before is missing.  I tried going into the button marked \u201cI\u2019m a Medicard Member\u201d thinking the link must be there but to no avail. I clicked everywhere I possibly could and was met with zilch.  I\u2019m not a Medicard member and I was getting frustrated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why couldn\u2019t Medicard just put the link right there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I thought about it and I came up with the following possible answers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Because of the pandemic, people were panicking so they were getting LOA requests left and right for RT-PCR tests and antigen tests \u2026 more than they could handle<\/li>
  2. They wanted their members to use the MACE app, available on the Appstore<\/a> and Googleplay<\/a>.<\/li>
  3. They wanted their members to visit their social media accounts, such as the one on Facebook<\/a>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How do I request an LOA then?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I did a quick Google search using the keywords \u201cMedicard LOA request\u201d which led me to several infographics by Medicard on the topic.  The most recent one is posted on September 24, 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

    That infographic has ALL the information you will need TO DATE until a new one is issued. In a nutshell, you have two options: email or call directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, to everyone who wants to know how to get a Medicard LOA, there\u2019s your answer. If they stop working, do let me know and I will help you dig up the information again. In the meantime, stay healthy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
