# Cigna explains reimbursement process for OTC COVID-19 tests

Authored by  Bukaty Companies on January 18, 2022

*Claim form should be submitted providing test purchase date and cost*

Cigna has released [information](https://insights.bukaty.com/hubfs/Carrier%20Notices/2022/941094_OTC_COVID_Tests_Customer_Flyer_v6.pdf) on how members can be reimbursed for the purchase of over-the-counter (OTC), FDA-approved COVID-19 diagnostic kits to comply with the [Department of Labor’s (DOL’s) directive](https://insights.bukaty.com/bulletins/dol_addresses_reimbursement_otc_covid19_test) released last week. The DOL requirement took effect January 15.

 

Members can submit a request for reimbursement by completing a Cigna-provided [claim](https://insights.bukaty.com/hubfs/Carrier%20Notices/2022/COVID_OTC_MED_CLAIM_FORM.pdf) form and providing a copy of a receipt showing the test purchase date and cost. Members can receive up to eight tests per month for each covered family member. 

 

Self-funded plans with a pharmacy carve out should work with their Bukaty benefits consultant to establish a reimbursement process through Cigna.

 

For more information, contact your Bukaty benefits consultant at 913.345.0440.
