Ordering COVID-19 therapeutics
Providers who would like to receive, dispense, and treat individuals with COVID-19 can request federally purchased and Department of Health (DOH) allocated COVID-19 therapeutics (monoclonal antibodies and oral antivirals).
Sites must establish a Healthcare Partner Order Portal (HPOP) account to submit allocation requests and track shipments. Learn more about HPOP.
For HPOP access, please fill out and complete this form.
The medical countermeasures (MCM) team will create a HPOP account for providers. Once an account is created, providers will receive a welcome sign-in email from HPOP and a welcome email from the DOH MCM team with additional information.
Requirements: A provider who received COVID-19 therapeutics must report utilization and product on-hand in HPOP. DOH will not consider a site for additional allocation of therapeutics if they have not yet reported their on-hand/administered courses PRIOR to requesting additional product.
