University of California, Riverside –
This is an update to the previous communications on requirements and guidance for at-home over-the-counter (OTC) COVID-19 tests that were approved by the Federal and Drug Administration.
We are providing an updated chart – Health Plan Guidelines - At-Home Over-the-Counter COVID-19 Tests that addresses the changes on how each health plan will administer the new requirement and guidance for At-Home Over-the-Counter (OTC) COVID-19 tests that were approved by the Federal and Drug Administration.
Those changes include:
- Beginning March 4, 2022, Kaiser Permanente introduced a convenient option for participating pharmacies and retailers where members can purchase at-home over-the counter COVID-19 tests at zero cost share at pharmacy counters.
