Regence – COVID-19 Testing FAQ

December 7, 2020

Updated on December 1, 2020

  • Added COVID-19 molecular and antigen testing codes
  • Updated the COVID-19 testing FAQ to indicate when testing is considered not medically necessary

COVID-19 testing (diagnostic or antibody) is not covered for the following:

  • To evaluate community health (surveillance testing) or for tracking purposes (We believe surveillance testing is the responsibility of the public health system.)

For administrative or qualification purposes, including testing related to employment, school or sports teams.
