Important Notice: The Department of Health and Human Services is planning for the federal Public Health Emergency for COVID-19 (PHE), declared under Section 319 of the Public Health Service Act, to expire at the end of the day on May 11, 2023.
COVID-19 Testing & Vaccinations
Coverage for COVID-19 testing and vaccinations will be based on your health plan benefits and any requirements according to the CDC/ACIP or USPSTF. COVID-19 testing and related clinic visits may be subject to applicable co-payment, co-insurance and deductibles. COVID-19 testing and vaccination for the sole purpose of work, travel, school, quarantine clearance and self-surveillance will not be covered.
Over-the-Counter COVID-19 Test Kits
The Federal mandate to cover over-the-counter COVID-19 test kits ends with the Public Health Emergency period on May 11, 2023. TakeCare will not be extending coverage for over-the-counter (“OTC”) COVID-19 test kits after May 11, 2023 as OTC drugs and supplies are part of TakeCare’s plan benefit exclusion list.
COVID-19 Oral Therapeutics
Coverage for these medications will be subject to the standard prescription drug guidelines and plan benefits.
Telehealth/Telemedicine
TakeCare will continue to cover telehealth/telemedicine services and may be subject to applicable co-payment, co-insurance and deductibles base on your health plan benefits.
