Biden Administration Expands Insurance Coverage for At-Home COVID-19 Testing

Under the new plan, private health insurers will be required to cover 100 percent of the cost of at-home tests purchased by plan members, covering approximately 150 million people. However, tests purchased before the policy is enacted will not be retroactively covered, and people covered by public insurance will not be eligible for reimbursement, the administration officials said.

The officials added that the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and Treasury will be working through the rule-making and releasing guidance by Jan. 15 to determine how many tests will be covered, and at what frequency.
