Expanding Access to COVID-19 Testing
CVS Health has established more than 1,000 locations across the country offering COVID-19 testing since May, with the goal of processing up to 1.5 million tests per month, subject to availability of supplies and lab capacity. Additional test sites may be added in coming months
|
|
How much will it cost to get a test? Will the test be covered by insurance?
Insurance will be accepted at the drive-thru test sites. However, under the
Families First Coronavirus Response Act
approved by Congress, patients should not have any out of pocket costs with their insurance. Uninsured patients will be covered under a program funded by the Department of Health and Human Services.
Do people still need to make an appointment online to get a test?
|
|
76 CVS locations are available in Virginia for COVID-19 Testing
