HAP’s COVID-19 (coronavirus) Frequently Asked Questions
Posted: 03/12/2020
Is testing for coronavirus a covered benefit?
HAP covers testing for COVID-19 for all lines of business (Medicare, Medicaid and Commercial members). HAP will waive cost-sharing for the COVID-19 test for its Medicare, Medicaid and individual members, as well as fully insured employer group customers. Self-insured employer group customers control their own health benefits and HAP is working with its self-insured customers to determine how they will cover COVID-19 testing.
HAP’s cost-share waiver is effective February 4, 2020, the first day the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) began using a common diagnostic code to test for COVID-19.
