Update - At-Home Over-the-Counter COVID-19 tests
Previously communicated<https://hr.ucr.edu/benefits-announcement-news/2022/03/09/march-update-home-over-counter-covid-19-tests>, the Federal government announced that Americans can order a total of 8 free at-home (OTC) COVID-19 tests from COVIDtests.gov<https://www.covidtests.gov> or the U.S. Postal Service At-Home COVID-19 Tests<https://special.usps.com/testkits>. If you have already received 4 free tests, you may now order an additional 4 for a total of 8 free tests per household from these sources.

We are providing an updated chart - Health Plan Guidelines - At-Home Over-the-Counter COVID-19 Tests<https://hr.ucr.edu/document/health-plan-guideline-home-over-counter-covid-test> that addresses the changes on how each health plan will administer the new requirement and guidance for At-Home Over-the-Counter (OTC) COVID-19 tests that were approved by the Federal and Drug Administration.

Members are also encouraged to visit their medical plans' microsites and follow the banner for Coronavirus/COVID-19 or call the plans directly for the most up-to-date information and FAQs on at-home over-the-counter COVID-19 tests.
