UHC COVID-19 At-Home Test Benefit
Beginning January 15, 2022, UnitedHealthcare Fully Insured and Level Funded individual and group health plan members can get up to eight FDA-authorized or approved OTC COVID-19 at home tests at no cost to them, after reimbursement, and without a doctor’s prescription.
There are two ways that eligible members can receive reimbursement for these COVID-19 at home test kits:
- Preferred Retailers – The list of Preferred Retailers and their websites may be found in the Preferred Retailer list on uhc.com.
- Other retailers or online – For purchases of FDA-authorized or approved OTC COVID-19 at home tests at any in-store or online retailer other than at the in-store pharmacy counter, members must submit a receipt for reimbursement via the UnitedHealthcare member portal for a maximum reimbursement of $12 per test. Many COVID-19 tests are sold as a two-pack so that means the test pack would be reimbursed at $24 ($12 for each test).
