PrimeTime Choices does not cover at-home over-the-counter COVID-19 tests for members. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has established a program where individuals covered by Medicare have access to free, at-home tests made available by community health centers and Medicare-certified health clinics.
The federal government has announced Americans will be able to request free rapid COVID-19 tests from the government beginning on Jan. 19. Tests are expected to arrive within 7 to 12 days. Each household will be eligible to receive 4 free tests. Tests continue to be available for free at local community organizations.
To order your free tests from the federal government, visit COVIDtests.gov

Will I have to pay for the Vaccine?
No. The federal government purchased the vaccine and insurance companies or Medicare are required to cover the administration costs associated with the vaccine at no cost to the individual. This coverage requirement applies to almost all AultCare plans. If your plan does not cover the cost of the vaccine, there are other resources available to reimburse providers for vaccine administration. You should not be billed for this service.
