TRICARE policy for at-home COVID testing
Starting January 15, 2022, private health insurers must cover the cost of eight at-home COVID-19 tests per month. However, this policy will not apply to TRICARE. Beneficiaries must still have a prescription indicating a medical necessity for the test for the beneficiary to be reimbursed. If a beneficiary buys an at-home test without a prescription, TRICARE will not cover it.
