Public health emergency renewed on Jan. 11, 2023

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has renewed the public health emergency (PHE) for an additional 90 days effective January 11, 2023. HHS has agreed to provide notice of when the PHE ends at least 60 days prior to the end of it. As a result, your medical carrier will continue to cover medically appropriate COVID-19 testing and test-related visits. In addition, federal guidelines allow for the purchase of over-the-counter COVID-19 tests at little or no cost during the national PHE period. Read more about this announcement at HHS.gov.
