As of the end of September U.S. households can order four additional rapid COVID-19 test kits. We ask that when possible, you use the free options for test kits as the kits are not charged to our self-insured health plans (which impacts employee premiums). These tests are intended for use by the end of 2024. Please visit covidtests.gov for more information on ordering, as well as how to tell if your COVID-19 tests' expiration dates have been extended.
