The Biden-Harris administration is requiring insurance companies and group health plans to cover the costs of at-home COVID-19 test

In an effort to ramp-up access of Americans to COVID-19 tests, the Biden-Harris administration announced that starting January 15 insurers are required to cover the costs of up to 8 tests a month per person. This means that now you can get tested for COVID-19 free of charge twice a week.

That is great news.

Here’s how to get your free at-home COVID-19 tests

You can purchase the tests online, in pharmacies or in general stores that carry COVID-19 tests. 

You need to make sure that the tests you purchase are authorized, cleared, or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Only those tests are covered under the new directive. Check the FDA website for an up to date list*. 

The tests will be either paid for up front by your health plan, or you’ll need to submit a receipt to your insurer to get reimbursed. The Biden-Harris administration incentivizes insurers to cover the costs up front.

There are no underlying conditions or requirements, and you do not need an order from your health care provider to be eligible for this.  All Americans with private health insurance or a group health plan are entitled for up to 8 free tests a month.
