Home COVID tests to be covered by insurers starting Saturday

Starting Saturday, private health insurers will be required to cover up to eight home COVID-19 tests per month for those on their plans

A family of four, for instance, could be reimbursed for up to 32 tests per month. PCR tests and rapid tests ordered or administered by a health provider will continue to be fully covered by insurance with no limit.

Any tests purchased before January 15 will not qualify.
