What’s New with COVID-19 Testing?

By Sister Mary Sarah Macht, RSM, MSN, FNP-BC

What Other Test Options Are Available?

Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order 4 (four) free at-⁠home COVID-⁠19 tests. The tests are completely free. Orders will usually ship in 7-12 days.

If you receive a test through the mail, it needs to be at room temperature before you use it.

Those COVID tests the government sent you might not work. Cold weather could be to blame.

Try your local pharmacy

Home tests can be purchased at local pharmacies when available and many health insurance companies will reimburse for the tests and there is a plan to have tests available at pharmacies for Medicare patients.

Over-the-counter COVID tests will soon be free for Medicare recipients
