Health Benefits Update: Free COVID-19 Test Kits

Most employees who are enrolled in the state group health insurance can now purchase over-the-counter COVID-19 diagnostic test kits at no cost. Coverage limits and exclusions apply. If you are enrolled in the Group Health Insurance Program and not yet on Medicare, you have coverage for eight (8) individual at-home COVID-19 tests every 30 days. Tests can be purchased from pharmacies, retail locations, or online. Only tests approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, will be covered.  Please review this webpage for details: https://etf.wi.gov/news/over-counter-covid-19-test-coverage-information.
