In Idaho, Can You See a Doctor Maskless? (Athol, Kootenai: leases, office)

[sll3454]

Does the state require that patients wear a mask to see a doctor or get a medical test like a CAT scan or blood draw?


If not, is it generally required by healthcare providers?
Thanks.

One of my doctors requires, one doesn't. You'll need a mask to go into the hospital for tests.

A bit off topic, but I use two veterinarians and one requires and the other one doesn't.

Pretty sure there does not exist a state-wide mask mandate at this time.

All of the Kootenai facilities require a mask to be worn inside any of their buildings. The owner of the building that my OT leases space, (across the street from Kootenai Health), in also requires a mask.

My veterinarian, (Northwoods in Athol), does not require masks.

Yes no state regulation but providers may require. Perhaps most providers. I do find it fascinating that conservative States don’t usually have mandates and liberal states do. I don’t think anyone is thinking “science” as politics seems to control everything these days. Sad.

We have to wear one inside the large office space but once in the room doc says we can take it off. And he takes his off.

Right. I recently went to my GP for a "wellness" checkup. Mask required by the GP, not the state.

Only if it is required
