As of January 15, Amazonians and their dependents covered under an Amazon medical plan in the United States can get over-the-counter COVID-19 diagnostic tests without a prescription, and have it paid for up front or reimbursed by their Plan. The Plan will cover up to eight over-the-counter tests per individual, per month. Under the new policy announced by the White House last week, qualifying
tests include any at-home tests that have been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration under Emergency Use Authorization while the public health emergency is in place.
This means covered Amazonians and their dependents can go to an in-network pharmacy, purchase a test kit, and either have it paid for up front by their
Plan or be reimbursed for the cost by submitting a claim to the Plan. Amazonians are encouraged to present their Medical/Rx ID Cards at In-Network pharmacies to
ensure $0 coverage; FDA approved tests obtained by out-of-network pharmacies or retailers, such as Amazon.com, will be reimbursed at a maximum of $12 per test.
Here are a few key details to keep in mind:
The up-front payment or reimbursement only covers tests purchased for use following symptoms or exposure for Amazonians and their dependents; it does not cover tests used as part of an employment or travel requirement.
Reimbursements for tests purchased out-of-network, including many online retailers, will be capped at a maximum of $12 per test (kits typically include two tests).
Use this site’s Pharmacy Locator to find participating In-Network pharmacies. Call beforehand to ensure tests are in stock.
Reimbursements are only available for tests that have been purchased on or after January 15, 2022.
