About QuickCheck Health Inc.
QuickCheck Health is a privately held, innovative health care company founded in 2010. QCH's "Retail Clinic in a Box" concept is aimed at providing at-home health care at a much lower cost than traditional care alternatives like clinics, urgent care and retail clinics while reaching a broader range of people needing health services. QCH is developing rapid, over the counter test kits which are designed to be used at home. After using the test, consumers will be able to get their test results online immediately and will be offered the opportunity to launch an online clinic visit. A clinician will review the consumer's health and situation. If appropriate a prescription is then sent to the patient's local pharmacy. While still under development, the target price for the home test is $10-$15 with an optional $35 online clinic visit. Test at home, treat online, that's QuickCheck Health.
