Amid the growing concerns about the spread of COVID-19 in communities across the country, Anthem is looking to eliminate some burden of additional costs for members by providing coverage of the coronavirus screening test at no out-of-pocket cost.
Testing similar to what is offered now from the Centers for Disease Control will soon be offered more broadly. Anthem’s waiver of copays, coinsurance and deductibles and prior authorization will extend to this focused test used to diagnose COVID-19 for all of Anthem’s affiliated health plan fully-insured, Individual, Medicaid and Medicare members when medically necessary.
