Per state guidance and with the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) having ended, beginning November 12, 2023, the Postdoctoral Scholars Health Net PPO plan will resume normal health plan coverage for certain COVID-19 benefits.

PPO Plan:
What is changing?

  *   COVID-19 vaccines, testing, and therapeutics received from an out-of-network provider will be subject to plan benefits. No prior approval is required.
  *   Over the counter (OTC) COVID-19 kits purchased at an out-of-network provider pharmacy are subject to the plan's lab office visit copay. A medical claim form will need to be submitted*.

What's not changing?

  *   COVID-19 vaccines, testing and therapeutics received from an in-network provider remain at no cost. No prior approval required.
  *   OTC COVID-19 Test kits are at no cost if you use one of Health Net's in-network retail pharmacies*.

*Maximum of eight tests per covered member in a 30-day period. The maximum reimbursement for each test per member is $12, includes costs such as taxes and shipping fees.
