If you are newly enrolled in the Avesis vision insurance plans for 2025, you can also get registered.

U.S. households can order four rapid COVID-19 test kits for free. 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). 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.
