How To Get Your At-Home COVID-19 Test For Free
Beginning January 15, 2022, Community First Medicare Members will be able to purchase over-the-counter (at-home) COVID-19 tests authorized by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at no cost. Members should get their at-home COVID-19 test kits at a Community First network pharmacy counter to ensure that the kits are processed properly and that Members have no out-of-pocket costs at the point of sale.
If you purchase an over-the-counter COVID-19 test from a pharmacy, store, or online and are charged for your test, you can submit a claim to be reimbursed by Community First Health Plans. Keep your receipt and complete the Community First Health Care Benefit Claim Form.
COVID-19 test kits will be covered at a reimbursement rate of up to $12 per test, with a limit of eight tests per covered Member every 30 days.
Examples of FDA authorized at-home COVID-19 tests include, but are not limited to:
- BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test
- CareStart COVID-19 Antigen Home Test
- Ellume COVID-19 Home Test
- Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Home Test
- iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test
