PCR and rapid “antigen” tests are used to check for a current COVID-19 infection. These tests are typically provided at no cost to you, but the cost can change depending on your insurance coverage and the reason for your test.
There is no out-of-pocket cost for tests that are done for health reasons, like testing after exposure to COVID-19 or if you have COVID-19 symptoms.
If you need a test for work, school or travel, this test will be billed to your insurance provider, and you may have out-of-pocket costs. Contact your insurance provider with questions specific to your plan.
