URGENT MESSAGE: NEW GOVERNMENT-PAID COVID DRUG TREATMENTS NOW AVAILABLE AT NO COST TO PARTICIPANTS
New COVID drug treatments have been approved and are now available at no co-pay for Health Fund Participants. Due to the government’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) program, Pfizer’s pill, Paxlovid, and Merck’s Molnupiravir will have no co-pay for as long as the program is in effect. When and if the EUA program expires, normal co-pays will apply. When taken soon after presentation of COVID-19 symptoms and a positive COVID-19 test, these medications can help reduce the severity of the virus, potentially reducing hospitalizations and deaths.

COVID Test Kit Reimbursement
February 09, 2022
Beginning Saturday, January 15, 2022 the PWGA Health Plan will cover the cost of up to eight COVID home-test kits a month under a new Federal program. Express Scripts has made arrangements with CVS, Walgreens, and independent drug stores, so you just have to show your insurance ID card anywhere it is currently accepted in order to get the tests. If there is a problem (it’s a new program and ESI is still working out the bugs), you may have to pay out of pocket. If this happens, the Plan will reimburse Participants up to a maximum of $12 per test.
