• In partnership with Minnesota Department of Health, Cue’s digital service offers an integrated solution to provide COVID-19 treatment options access across all populations

Cue Health (“Cue”) (Nasdaq: HLTH), the healthcare technology company known for diagnostic enabled care, today announced that it has been selected by Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) to provide a statewide COVID-19 telehealth to treatment program, powered by Cue Care™, at no cost to Minnesota residents.

With Cue, Minnesotans who test positive on any COVID-19 self test can consult virtually and on-demand with a healthcare professional to obtain a prescription for COVID-19 treatment at no cost, if they are medically indicated. Through the program, COVID-19 treatment is made available for same day pick-up or delivery from a local pharmacy. Cue’s telehealth to treatment services offered in partnership with MDH will be accessible at no cost to all Minnesota residents regardless of insurance status via mobile, web, and telephone.

“Cue’s diagnostic platform has been deployed over the past two years across the United States, including in Minnesota, and we are proud to expand our partnership with the State to now provide Minnesotans access to our telehealth to treatment services for COVID-19,” said Chris Achar, Chief Strategy Officer for Cue Health. “Our solution builds on Cue’s history of successful public sector work and can be utilized in the future to address other important public health issues, such as influenza and sexually transmitted infections.”

Cue’s collaboration with the State of Minnesota began in 2020 when, as part of the Departments of Defense and Health and Human Services’ pandemic response programs, Cue began delivering Cue Health Monitoring Systems and Cue COVID-19 molecular tests to the State, which were deployed across critical settings.

Cue’s COVID-19 test was the first molecular diagnostic test available to consumers without a prescription and is the most accurate at-home COVID-19 test*, delivering results in 20 minutes to connected mobile devices. It detects all known COVID-19 variants of concern in people with or without symptoms. Cue is used in homes, in point-of-care settings, and by world-class organizations across the country, including Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Google, the National Basketball Association, and Major League Baseball, among many others.

An independent study by Mayo Clinic, released in 2021, found Cue's COVID-19 test showed 97.8% concordance with central lab PCR tests.

The telehealth-to-treatment service in Minnesota is currently available through the Cue Health App on the Apple App Store and through Google Play for Android devices.

*#1 accuracy claim based on comparison of clinical study results submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization for Cue and other molecular home tests.
