It is now easier than ever to access
FREE at-home COVID-19 tests, thanks to two new initiatives rolled out by
the Biden administration this week.
Every household can now
order four free rapid tests at www.COVIDtests.gov. The
tests will be shipped within 7-12 days directly to your home
address.
Additionally, most people
with private health insurance have another option to access free
over-the-counter test kits. Thanks to the Biden administration, private
health insurance companies are now required to cover eight free
at-home COVID-19 tests per individual per
month. Depending on your insurance, your test may be free at the
point of sale, or you may be reimbursed by your plan. Read more about this new program here.
It’s up to all of us to do our part to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The Biden administration and Congressional Democrats have been working hard to increase access to COVID-19 testing by:
=
Establishing over 20,000
free COVID-19 testing sites across the nation
=
Providing community health centers and
rural health clinics with millions of
free at-home over-the-counter COVID-19 tests to
distribute to their patients
=
Using $10 billion in American Rescue
Plan (ARP) funding to send 5 million free rapid tests to K-12
schools each month
Expanding access to testing will
help protect those around us from COVID-19. For more
