Free at home COVID-19 tests now available for Oklahomans

Body
OKLAHOMA CITY –– Last week, the Oklahoma Insurance Department issued a special notice regarding coverage of athome, over-the-counter (OTC) COVID-19 tests. Beginning Jan. 15, 2022, group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage must cover OTC COVID-19 tests. Under the new guidelines, the tests may either be free or reimbursed by the insurer. Health plans and insurance companies are incentivized to set up a network of pharmacies or retailers so their members can conveniently order or pick up COVID-19 tests that will be covered up-front. OID requested that all regulated insurance companies provide a description of how the administration of coverage for athome OTC COVID-19 tests will be handled and communicated to their insureds and members.
