Yes. These tests, defined as those that are approved by the FDA under the Emergency Use Authorization and are self-administered and self-read at home without involvement from a medical provider, are covered for all Employer Group, Individual and Self-Funded members. At-home antigen tests purchased on or after January 15, 2022 are covered with no cost-sharing if they are obtained at a pharmacy on the At-home OTC COVID-19 Test Preferred Pharmacy List. This coverage applies for the duration of the public health emergency.
Employer Group, Individual or Self-Funded SummaCare members can obtain up to eight tests per member per 30 days for $0 if processed at a preferred pharmacy—even without a prescription. Please note that if a kit includes two tests, both count toward the eight-test limit. A list of preferred pharmacies is available here.
However, if members obtain an at-home test at a non-preferred pharmacy, a reimbursement request can be submitted to MedImpact and will be processed at the non-preferred rate of up to $12 per test.

Yes. SummaCare covers COVID-19 testing for all members, with no co-pays or deductibles, for items and services related to provider-ordered testing for COVID-19 (i.e. office visits, emergency and urgent care visits, telehealth visits) whether in network or out-of-network. If Employer Group, Individual or Self-Funded members receive the test by an out-of-network provider they may be balance billed. This coverage applies for the duration of the public health emergency.
SummaCare will continue to follow the guidance and protocols issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and state and local public health departments. Based on current CDC recommendations, call your physician if you believe you have been exposed to COVID-19 or have symptoms that may indicate the need for testing. The majority of patients with confirmed COVID-19 have developed fever and/or symptoms of acute respiratory illness such as cough or difficulty breathing. Your physician may need to test for other causes of respiratory illness, such as influenza, before ordering a COVID-19 test.
