Coronavirus Testing Covered by Medicare

Are you worried about the coronavirus (COVID-19)? Medicare is now covering the test to see if you have the virus if your doctor or health care provider orders it. The test must have been done on or after February 4, 2020. Due to this recent change, your claim cannot be submitted until after April 1, 2020.

This test will be considered a diagnostic lab and will be covered by part B of Medicare. Coverage may vary depending on your plan. Please contact Informed Choice if you have questions regarding your specific coverage.
