Coverage for Over-the-Counter Tests

Every household in the United States is eligible to order four free at-home COVID-19 tests at www.COVIDtests.gov. You can also place your order through the United States Postal Service at www.USPS.com/COVIDtest.

State Health Plan primary members are also eligible to request reimbursement for over-the-counter COVID-19 tests authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Reimbursements are limited to eight tests per covered member in a 30-day period.

Effective January 28, 2022, claims will be processed under the Plan’s pharmacy benefit through Express Scripts. Learn more about how the process works at www.peba.sc.gov/covid-19.

Express Scripts is an independent company that contracts directly with the State Health Plan.
