COVERAGE OF COVID-19 AT-HOME DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
On January 10, 2022, the United States Department of Labor (DOL) issued guidance on President Biden’s order concerning over-the-counter (OTC), at-home COVID-19 diagnostic test kits. The DOL guidance states that all insurers and health plans must amend their plans to include coverage for OTC, at-home COVID-19 diagnostic tests. Effective January 15, 2022, the Teamsters Local 727 Health & Welfare Fund will cover up to a total of eight tests per 30-day period for each participant and covered dependent without cost-sharing and without involvement by (or a prescription from) a health care provider.
