National COVID Test Distribution
ASCENDANT META MEDIA
Starting April 4, 2022, and through the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), Medicare covers and pays for over-the-counter (OTC) COVID-19 tests at no cost to people with Medicare Part B, including those with Medicare Advantage (MA) plans (referred to throughout this webpage as “patients”).
In addition to helping prevent the spread of COVID-19, the goal of this demonstration is to find out if Medicare payment for OTC COVID-19 tests will improve access to testing and result in Medicare savings or other program improvements.
Eligible providers or suppliers can distribute U.S. FDA-approved, authorized, or cleared OTC COVID-19 tests to patients enrolled in Part B, including those enrolled in MA plans. Patients who only have Medicare Part A can get free OTC COVID-19 tests through other government-led programs, like covidtests.gov, which operates through the United States Postal Service (USPS). Or, they may have coverage through a private insurance plan, if they’re enrolled in a plan.
Eligible Medicare patients will get these tests at no cost, and their annual deductible, coinsurance, and copayment don’t apply.
Each eligible Medicare patient can get up to 8 tests per calendar month until the PHE ends. Medicare won’t pay for more than 8 OTC tests in a month. If a patient gets more than 8 tests in a calendar month, they may pay out-of-pocket for the extra tests unless they have additional health coverage.
This program is only for a very limited time.
