Casey, Wyden Urge Continued Medicare Coverage of COVID-19 At-Home Tests

Letter

Date: April 4, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.

"Easy access to testing with quick results has prevented the spread of COVID-19, reduced severe infection, and enabled many Americans to resume normal life…Ending Medicare coverage for at-home COVID-19 tests could undo much of this progress and make it harder for Medicare beneficiaries to obtain accurate and timely information about their health. For example, without coverage under Medicare, many older Americans will not be able to afford to pay out-of-pocket for these critical tests and simply won't test,"
