Starting late September 2024, all U.S. households will again be able to order up to four (4) additional COVID-19 test kits at no charge at covidtests.gov.

Are COVID-19 vaccines and boosters covered through the Student Health Program?
The vaccine and booster are covered through the Student Health Insurance Plan. Please present your BCBSMA ID when receiving the vaccine at participating retail pharmacies.
Students enrolled in the Student Health Fee but not the Student Health Insurance Plan should check with their primary insurance provider for coverage.
Does the Student Health Insurance Plan cover the COVID-19 antibody test?
If you are enrolled in the Student Health Insurance Plan, you will be covered for the COVID-19 antibody test when the following conditions are met:
- The test is ordered for medical reasons (e.g., you exhibited signs of the illness; however, you had not been tested for the illness)
- The test is ordered by a network physician
- The test is performed by a network lab
Consult with your physician to determine if they recommend that you be tested.
Note: the test will not be covered if it is ordered for administrative reasons (e.g., return to work/school/public health study) or for travel purposes.
Important: If you are currently out of state and the ordering provider is not located in your current state, please contact BCBS at (800) 810-2583 for a list of network labs.
