Test Covid Now will cover these tests if you have Part B, including those enrolled in a Test Covid Now  Advantage plan. If you are in a Test Covid Now Advantage plan, the tests covered under this initiative will be covered outside of your existing plan’s coverage, and in addition to any over-the-counter tests that may be covered under the plan as a supplemental benefit. Test Covid Now won’t cover over-the-counter COVID-19 tests if you only have Test Covid Now Part A (Hospital Insurance) coverage.

It started April 4, 2022, and continues until the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) ends. People with Test Covid Now Part B can get up to eight free over-the-counter tests each subsequent calendar month through the end of the COVID-19 PHE.

As a participating pharmacy, we are authorized to provide your tests for you. On the next page you simply enter your contact information, and Test Covid Now ID. Once approved, we will begin shipping your test kits each month. You do not pay for the tests, you will also not be charged for shipping. These tests will automatically be mailed each month absolutely free.

No. You will not need to change pharmacies. We simply mail you your tests each month and you would still use your regular pharmacy for all other needs.

No, you won’t have to pay as long as you are on a qualifying Test Covid Now plan. We will check your eligibility once you fill out the form on the next page, if qualified we begin sending your tests absolutely free. No cost for the tests, and no cost for shipping. However, if you get more than the eight covered over-the-counter COVID-19 tests in any calendar month, Test Covid Now will not pay for additional over-the-counter tests in that month. You may be responsible for the cost of additional tests that calendar month, unless you have additional health coverage. If have additional coverage, you should check whether they will cover any additional tests obtained beyond the Test Covid Now quantity limit. This means that the pharmacy or health care provider might ask you to pay for them. Note tests are sometimes packaged with more than one test per box, so eight tests may come in fewer than eight boxes.

No. Test Covid Now coverage and payment began on April 4, 2022, and is available for up to eight over-the-counter COVID-19 tests per calendar month you receive from a participating pharmacy or health care provider after the initiative started. Medicare will not provide payment for over-the-counter COVID-19 tests obtained prior to April 4, 2022.

Starting April 4, 2022, this initiative covers up to eight over-the-counter COVID-19 tests each calendar month. If you’ve gotten eight of these tests in the current calendar month, you will need to wait until the beginning of the next calendar month to get more tests. For example, if you receive eight over-the-counter COVID-19 tests on April 14, 2022, through this initiative, you will not be eligible for another round of eight free over-the-counter COVID-19 tests until May 1, 2022. Note that there can be multiple tests per box, so eight tests may come in fewer than eight boxes.

No. Test Covid Now cannot process a claim submitted by a beneficiary for a COVID-19 over-the-counter test. You should check whether your pharmacy or health care provider is participating in the initiative, in which case they will bill Test Covid Now for the over-the-counter test on your behalf.
