Free At-Home COVID-19 Tests covered by Insuance
Per the Biden administration, Insurers are now required to cover at-home COVID testing kits every month with no out-of-pocket fees to you.
If you are covered by a US-based insurance plan, you are eligible to get up to 8 free over-the-counter tests/month at no cost to you. A family of four on the same plan would get up to 32 tests covered by their health plan per month.
If you are affiliated with CVS you can also order your FREE test here for pick-up or delivery.

Don’t forget you can get FREE COVID test through your insurance provider. Each covered family member can receive 8 tests/month with NO out-of-pocket cost. Mine arrived today! See the thread for ways to get your test. Ordered mine from
I’ll receive 8 per month as long as Biden’s executive order is in place. I like this one because they just send them monthly, I don't have to reorder. Stock UP

When To Use a Self-Test
The poll has ended. Thank you for participating. 70% of you were correct. If you notice the test is expired, you should check for a revised expiration date. Here's the link.
@nursefrombirth the only problem with home testing is that it under counts actual cases publicly reported
@tgraph52 There is always an option to report your at-home test results for public data and monitoring purposes. I suggest this one
@nursefrombirth And people MUST swab the cheeks, throat, and then nasal passages, otherwise your chance of a false negative is like 80%
@HealingHobbit Not exactly. I found this information helpful.
@nursefrombirth I agree, multiple tests are needed. BUT....thread...with pictures. And this matches my own experience.
@HealingHobbit nice thread.
@nursefrombirth Thing is, if you're doing multiple tests wrong, you're still going to get the same result.
@HealingHobbit That is TRUE. I've only seen it done that way in healthcare settings and then we used 2 different swabs.
@nursefrombirth When I had my guy do his and told him it was with one swab, he almost refused. Big tough construction guy grossed out. 😂
@nursefrombirth
Beautiful ❤️
@nursefrombirth
Ordered mine. Thank you POTUS
@nursefrombirth Mine came today, too!
@nursefrombirth mine arrived today, too!
That's quick! I ordered ours Thursday also, but did not receive an email or the tests. We got them a little later than everyone else last time also. No worries, bc we have a few boxes of 5 tests still here.
Don't forget to order your FREE COVID test. Ordered mine on Thursday and just got an email from USPS that they will be delivered tomorrow.
