COVID-19 tests at a doctor's office

All Anthem plans cover medically necessary COVID-19 testing and the care visit where the test takes place with no out-of-pocket costs. Use this tool to find a COVID-19 testing location near you. Please talk to a doctor first to be certain you need a COVID-19 test. A doctor must order a COVID-19 test for you.

Over-the-counter COVID-19 tests

You can be reimbursed for over-the-counter COVID-19 diagnostic tests starting on January 15, 2022. You do not need a doctor’s order for the over-the-counter diagnostic test. Reimbursement is available only during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

• Save your receipts when you purchase over-the-counter COVID-19 diagnostic tests. You'll need to submit them when you apply for reimbursement.
• Follow this link to submit a claim, or log in to the Sydney^SM Health mobile app, go to Claims, and choose Submit a Claim. If your employer has asked you to submit receipts to your pharmacy benefit plan, please don’t submit them here.

Diagnostic tests are for people who have symptoms of COVID-19. They also are for people who have no symptoms but know or suspect that they have recently been exposed to someone who has COVID-19.

Anthem will help you coordinate COVID-19 care.

People who are diagnosed with COVID-19 may have long-term symptoms. Anthem case management nurses are ready to help coordinate care for long-term symptoms of COVID-19. If you’d like additional support, please call the Member Services number on your member ID and ask for an Anthem Case Management Nurse.
