Stock up on at-home COVID-19 tests by May 11

4/25/2023 1:59:27 PM

You and your family members enrolled in the Minnesota Advantage Health Plan may get up to eight at-home COVID-19 antigen tests for free every 30 days. You have until May 11 to get tests if you haven’t done so lately.

The COVID federal public health emergency ends May 11. Starting May 12, your health insurance covers COVID-related tests the same way it does other illnesses. At-home COVID tests will no longer be free.

Here’s how to get tests if you qualify.

  • Pick up tests at a drug store in your network by May 11. Show your CVS Caremark insurance card. You won’t be charged.

  • Buy tests online or from a drug store not in your network by May 11. You can get paid back up to $12 per test. (Per test, not box. Some boxes have one test, others have two.) Save your receipt. Sign into caremark.com or use the Caremark app. Follow the steps under “At-home COVID-19 test reimbursement.”

Remember tests expire. Watch the dates when you use them in the future.

Call Caremark at 1-844-345-3234 if you have questions .

Note: Here’s general information about your health plan. For details, go to your Summary of Benefits document for the Advantage plan. It describes your medical and prescription drug coverage. Here’s the Summary of Benefits if you have the high-deductible plan. Your summary, not this story, decides what gets paid for and how.
