A growing trend of health insurance programs declining to cover the costs of policyholders’ testing for the CCP virus—also known as the novel coronavirus—has a group of eight Republican senators seeking corrective action by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.
“Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that changes made in a recent tri-agency guidance published on June 23, 2020, have created some confusion regarding coverage requirements for COVID-19 testing,” the senators said in a letter to Azar.
