Free At-Home COVID-19 Tests Available from the Federal Government Not Available

The U.S. government's free at-home COVID-19 test distribution program is not currently accepting orders.

Insurance Reimbursement for At-Home Tests

Insurance companies are now required to reimburse you for 8 tests per month for each individual on the plan up to $12 per individual test. Your health plan may cover the cost of your test if they have a network of pharmacies or retailers already setup. Alternatively, they may provide you reimbursement for the cost of over-the-counter tests regardless of the price if they have yet to set up a network of pharmacies or retailers.

The best way to find out is to contact your health plan or insurer to determine if they provide direct coverage or if you might need to submit a claim for reimbursement.

Visit covidtests.gov for more information on reimbursements.

Report COVID-19 Home Test Kit Price Gouging

As COVID cases increase, so do opportunities for consumers to be victimized by illegal price gouging. In January 2022, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order establishing consumer protections against price gouging on at-home test kits.

If you spot price gouging for COVID-19 rapid tests online or in stores, report it to the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs immediately by using the “Stop Price Gouging” online tool at stoppricegouging.dcba.lacounty.gov or by calling 800-593-8222.
