NEW TREATMENTS FOR COVID-19 AVAILABLE AT UMASS MEMORIAL MEDICAL CENTER

If you recently tested positive for COVID-19, the COVID Treatment Center at the UMass Memorial Medical Center’s Hahnemann campus in Worcester offers treatments that can prevent your symptoms from getting worse and keep you out of the hospital.  These treatments are offered through a partnership with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH).  

We are providing the following treatments:

  • Intravenous Remdesivir (3-day course)
  • Oral Paxlovid (Nirmaltrevir and Ritonavir co-packaged)
  • Oral Molnupiravir

When possible, health insurance companies will be charged for care provided to their patients.  Patients, however, will not be billed for any direct costs or co-pays associated with these treatments.

Patients who are interested in receiving treatments for COVID-19 should have their primary care provider contact our Physician Referral Service at 800-431-5151 and request a referral to our COVID Treatment Center.  We also recommend that patients discuss treatment options with their primary care provider. 

If you do not have a primary care provider or prefer to self-refer, please visit COVID-19 Treatment Self-Referral. Providers in our center will assess patients to determine if they qualify for the treatments that we can provide in our clinic. 

Restrictions are assigned to each of the approved medications by the Food and Drug Administration and the significant increase in patients may require us to prioritize patients who are at high risk for complications in managing a positive COVID diagnosis.
