Health plans are not required under federal law to cover testing that employers choose to require of employees before they can return to or continue to work. ConnectiCare does not cover testing conducted to screen for general workplace health and safety (such as employee “return to work” programs), for public health surveillance for COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), or for any other purpose other than individual diagnosis or treatment of COVID-19. If individuals seek testing on their own, they should be aware that providers of diagnostic testing for COVID-19 are required by law to list the cash prices for testing on their websites. As stated above, during the public health emergency ConnectiCare will cover COVID-19 diagnostic testing without cost share when: A licensed medical professional decides the test is medically necessary for a member under the professional’s care, and Orders a test in order to diagnose and, if necessary, treat a member. Testing providers may not bill members for any balance over their health plan’s reimbursement for the test.
