    Claim form should be submitted providing test purchase date and cost

    Cigna has released information 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 released last week. The DOL requirement took effect January 15.

     

    Members can submit a request for reimbursement by completing a Cigna-provided claim 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.
