Clarification: At-home COVID-19 testing policy revised for Blue Cross, BCN commercial plans
We ran an article in March Record and March-April BCN Provider News about our revised at-home COVID-19 testing policy. On May 19, we posted a provider alert clarifying how frequently members can obtain at-home rapid diagnostic COVID-19 tests, changing the wording from “monthly” to “every 30 days.” Currently, commercial members with pharmacy coverage through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan or Blue Care Network have coverage for up to eight FDA-approved, over-the-counter at-home rapid diagnostic COVID-19 tests every 30 days.
The federal government’s website has also been updated and the quantity and timing on shipping has been removed as this continues to change.
See the May 19 provider alert and the articles in the March Record and March-April BCN Provider News for additional details. |
