Avoid a Costly ER Test: iHealth Offers 5-Pack of 3-in-1 At-Home Test for Flu A&B/COVID-19 at Costco

Affordable Per-Test Price Provides Customers An Option to Expensive Hospital Tests During a Severe Flu Season 

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- iHealth Labs, Inc. (iHealth^®), a leading provider of digital health solutions, today announced the availability of a 5-pack of its popular 3-in-1 at-home Flu A&B/COVID-19 Rapid Test Kit exclusively on Costco online. Priced at $52.99, the 5-pack offers budget-minded consumers suffering through the current vicious flu season an affordable price of $10.60 per test. In comparison, an ER visit to be tested can run into the hundreds of dollars. 

The season has been classified as "high severity" overall for all age groups, the first high severity season in the US since 2017-2018. In its most recent FluView report ending the week of March 1, the CDC estimates at least 40 million flu illnesses have occurred so far during the 2024-2025 flu season, with 520,000 hospitalizations. 

Self-testing can help reduce the burden on ERs and other health care facilities who throughout the country have reported to be overwhelmed with patients seeking testing for respiratory illness symptoms. Testing for flu and COVID-19 is critical and recommended by infectious disease experts if one starts to feel ill, as the two viruses share common symptoms but require different treatments. Knowing which virus is responsible for those symptoms is crucial to seeking the appropriate treatment. 

Besides affordability, the 3-in-1 Flu A&B/COVID-19 test offers a convenient and fast at-home testing experience, with results displayed in 15 minutes. With at-home flu and COVID tests proclaimed to be a "game changer" by healthcare experts, the iHealth 3-in-1 test has received numerous accolades since its launch, including being honored by the Best in Biz Awards as a Best New Product in Healthcare & Medicine and recognized by publications such as Health.com and EverydayHealth.com as the best at-home test for flu and COVID. 

In addition to the availability of the 5-pack 3-in-1 flu and COVID test online, Costco in-store pharmacies are also offering iHealth's stand-alone 2-pack COVID-19 test for $12.99. 

"During this extreme flu season, consumers need timely access to healthcare products that enable them to be vigilant and proactive in identifying symptoms so that they are in better position to stop the spread of viruses, as well as seek prompt and proper treatment for them," noted Jack Feng, CEO of iHealth Labs. "As one of the most respected brands in retail, Costco is renowned for its unbeatable prices on quality products and excellence in serving its members. We are pleased to add them to our expansive network of trusted partners offering our at-home tests, making it convenient and affordable for anyone who needs a test to purchase and use in the comfort of wherever they are, thereby avoiding long ER and medical office wait times and higher costs."
