 <\/p>\n

You’ve likely heard about the Coronavirus (officially called “2019-Novel Coronavirus” or “COVID-19”) in the news. While there isn’t a vaccine yet and the immediate health risk remains low, Medicare is still here to help.<\/p>\n

Your Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers a test to see if you have Coronavirus<\/a>. This test is covered when your doctor or a health care provider orders it, if you get the test on or after February 4, 2020. You usually pay nothing for Medicare-covered clinical diagnostic laboratory tests.<\/p>\n

To prevent the spread of this illness or other illnesses, including the flu:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wash your hands often with soap and water,<\/li>\n
  2. Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze,<\/li>\n
  3. Stay home when you’re sick, and<\/li>\n
  4. See your doctor if you think you’re ill.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Visit\u00a0The Centers for Disease Control website<\/a> for information on the Coronavirus.<\/p>\n

    Learn More<\/a><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Sincerely,<\/p>\n

    The Medicare Team<\/p>\n

    Note: Your provider will need to wait until after April 1, 2020 to submit a claim to Medicare for this test.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n
