Common Health Insurance Plans That Cover COVID-19 Testing

When it comes to COVID-19 testing, all ACA (Obamacare) health insurance plans will cover the cost. There are many health insurance options, and you will want to consult with a knowledgeable health insurance agent to know which plan would be most beneficial to you. In times of tragedy and uncertainty, you want to be able to rely on your health insurance coverage to cover the cost of healthcare you may need. Some of the most common health insurance plans that your health insurance agent will discuss with you in detail include:

• Nevada Health Link - If you purchased your plan through the Nevada Health Link, then your health insurance will cover COVID-19 testing. Nevada Health Link is the online marketplace where Nevada residents can shop for Affordable Care Act certified plans.
• Medicare - Medicare Part B will cover the cost associated with testing for COVID-19. Coronavirus testing conducted after February 4, 2020 is covered at no cost to the patient.
• Medicaid - Federal legislation that became law on March 18, 2020 will cover coronavirus testing. However, it is a little more complicated when it comes to treatment since states administer their own Medicaid benefits and some benefits are up to the states to include.
• Private Insurance - Private insurance in Nevada is governed by the Nevada Division of Insurance in the Department of Business and Industry. This division passed a law that ensured COVID-19 testing and treatment would be covered under private plans in Nevada that are ACA compliant.
