At-Home COVID-19 Tests
 

The federal government announced on May 17, 2022, it is providing every household additional free, at-home rapid COVID-19 tests. They can be ordered at COVIDtests.gov. 

As of January 15, 2022, members covered under eligible plans may receive coverage for up to eight (8) FDA-approved, Over-the-Counter (OTC) COVID-19 antigen tests per member every 30 days. If you are unable to obtain your test without upfront costs at a network pharmacy, claims for reimbursement may be submitted utilizing the Over-the-Counter COVID-19 Test Claim Form. 

Employee Trust Fund members will have any claims covered under their Pharmacy benefit. Information on how to file those claims can be found HERE. 

Members with Medicare coverage are not eligible for this reimbursement.  Visit our COVID-19 page for more information.
