Are the vaccines covered?

COVID-19 vaccines are covered with a $0 cost-share if they are received at in-network providers.

We are a phone call away! If you need to reach us, please call (800) 362-3310 or TTY 711. You can also send a secure message via MyChart.

Cost-sharing may apply for COVID clinical lab tests

COVID-19 viral testing or antibody testing for commercial and Quartz Medicare Advantage (HMO) members:

As of May 12, 2023, a copay, coinsurance, or deductible may apply for medically necessary* COVID-19 tests ordered by a provider in our network. Please call your provider in advance before you go to any facility for testing.

*Medically necessary tests include tests for members with known or suspected symptoms, known or suspected exposure, and those entering health care facilities for service.

Third-party screening tests for employment, school admission, or travel are not covered

As you can see, we cover tests ordered by a provider to meet members’ medical needs. We do not cover screening tests requested by third parties, such as those for employment, school admission, or travel: Tests requested for return to work, school, or participation on a sports team are typically paid for by the organization requesting them or by the person receiving the non-covered service.

Viruses don’t discriminate – neither should we

This Anti-Stigma Fact Sheet from Public Health Madison & Dane County explains why we shouldn’t discriminate against people that we think may have COVID-19. Visit Public Health Madison & Dane County for more information.
