Health insurers are now required to cover up to eight home COVID-19 tests per month (per individual) or you can get reimbursements from your private insurance. So, if you purchase an over-the-counter COVID-19 diagnostic test that has been authorized, cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration will be able to have those test costs covered by your insurance.
List of covered at-home test: Abbott BinaxNOW at-home tests, iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test, Siemens Healthineers’ rapid COVID-19 antigen self test, and the Flowflex COVID-19 antigen home tests and more. See more info here.
If you haven’t yet, you order 4 free COVID-19 home tests. The tests are completely free, with no shipping costs. Once the ordering begin, you can placeĀ your order hereĀ and you expect it to be delivered within 7 to 12 days.Ā See more info here.
I asked my Pharmacy and they don’t know a thing about it š
Thanks you for the information and Hopefully we can see some light at the End of this Tunnel.
You’re so welcome! Stay safe out there!
This is great! I purchased the ihealth to confirm a positive test and itās accurate . Home isolation for me š©
Thank you so much for this information! Hope you and your family stay safe. š
You’re most welcome, Natalie! Hugs to you and your fam. Stay safe! š¤š
Unfortunately Medicaid wonāt pay for them at this time and people like me that canāt afford insurance canāt get them eitherā¦. I have to pay for my daughters Medicaid but as long as she has insurance thatās what matters to meā¦. And itās hard getting an appointment where Iām at tooā¦. If people would just stay home unless they have no choice but to go out and would have stayed home on New Years and not gathered without precautions during Christmas, I donāt think it would be so out of control right now but itās an opinion and everyone has one
Iām looking forward to having them in the house. I have to be careful so having them would help.
Mahalo Tina for this very important information – Truly helpful in this current state of serious health crisis, shortages of tests, economy, etc.
You’re welcome Shannon! Stay safe out there!
Oh good I am so glad to see this! I have 8 people in my household, three have gotten sick and all 3 tested positive for COVID19. Which left the other 5 of us to buy tests for this week, and we were told we also should do 1 test next week and 1 the week after that. This will be so much better! Thank you so much!
Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear about what happened. I hope they get better soon! Stay safe!
Thanks for the info! It seems like there is a shortage of tests. It looks like there are some kinks to work out on how this will happen. Hopefully insurance companies will make it easy for people to obtain tests and/or get the reimbursement for the tests.
thanks for posting
