I know this is specific to Oregon, but think this could apply to other states and countries as well so pasting what I was sent in an emailed newsletter from our state Health Department. This'll have to be IMO since I can't provide a source to content in an email.
I figured if being reimbursed was of interest to you, that knowing it's possible where I'm from could help folks with this info to seek out if it's possible where you live.
Where can we get both PCR COVID-19 tests and at-home COVID-19 tests that are covered by OHP? Do I buy my tests at, say, Walmart? How do I get reimbursed for the costs? – Yvonne, Yachats
A: If you are covered by Oregon Health Plan (OHP), whether you want an at-home COVID-19 test or a PCR test administered by a health care professional (including pharmacists), you must go to a provider or pharmacy that bills OHP and offers those products or services. Most pharmacies have at-home COVID-19 tests on the shelf for the public, but you must take it to the pharmacy counter for the transaction and confirm they bill OHP. If you take it to the regular cashier and pay for it, you won’t be able to get reimbursed for it.
The best proof I have that it's real:
