Millions of Americans enrolled in Medicare will soon have access to free at-home COVID-19 tests this spring.
Here’s what to know about the tests, including how many beneficiaries can get.
Starting in early spring, enrollees in both Medicare and Medicare Advantage can get up to eight at-home COVID-19 tests covered at no cost each month, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said in a Feb. 3 news release. The tests must be approved or authorized by the Food and Drug Administration.
