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.

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

@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.
@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 I agree, multiple tests are needed. BUT....thread...with pictures. And this matches my own experience.
