If you buy a COVID-19 test, there’s a good chance your health plan will cover your costs.
Two ways to shop:
- Buy your own tests: Most health plans will pay you back for COVID-19 tests you buy at the store or online. Save your receipts.
- Ask your health plan:
- How much it will pay to reimburse you for a COVID-19 test and for how many. Most plans will pay up to $12 per test for up to eight tests per month.
- What steps you have to take to get paid back (reimbursement).
- If you can get tests for free at a particular store, without needing to send in receipts.
- Call your doctor: Your doctor may be able to provide a COVID-19 test, at no cost to you.
