COVID-19 kits can cost between $10 and $25 per kit. But, you may be entitled to eight free tests every month.
Most people with a health plan can either go online or right to their local pharmacy and get at-home, over the counter COVID-19 tests at no cost.
All you have to do is visit your pharmacy’s website, fill out your health insurance information and once submitted you will receive an email or text that your order is ready for pick up if approved by your insurance company.
Make sure you keep any receipts in case your health insurance requires you to submit a claim for reimbursement.
