What do members need to do?
To ensure members pay $0 copay for at-home OTC COVID-19 tests, you simply need to:
- Take your UMR/CVS Caremark ID card to a retail pharmacy in the network. Claims will be processed by Caremark.
- Bring an at-home COVID-19 test to the pharmacy counter, not the regular checkout lane.
- Check out at the pharmacy counter and show the UMR/CVS Caremark ID card. The at-home COVID-19 tests should automatically ring up at no cost to the member.
What are the benefits to members?
- Seamless experience at the point of sale: Claims for at-home OTC COVID-19 tests will automatically process at $0 copay when members order through the www.CVS.com website or check out at in-network pharmacy counters.
- Predictable $0 copay: Members are eligible for up to 8 at-home COVID-19 tests at the pharmacy counter every 30 days for a $0 copay.
What if the pharmacy rejects the claim at the point of sale or a member checks out at a front-end register?
- Caremark anticipate seamless integration at in-network retail pharmacies. However, they can process manual claims for at-home COVID-19 tests using UPC codes from any retail or online provider. Members may log into their CVS Caremark portal to submit manual claims for reimbursement for at-home tests.
- Claims will be capped at $12 per test.
- Please note that pharmacy purchase limits on at-home COVID-19 test kits may apply.
