How crazy is this? Medicare pays for home testing kits?
What's next? Medicare paying for a sex change?
Starting April 4th. if you have Medicare Part B or Medicare Advantage, you can get up to 8 free COVID home tests. Yes my friends the government has nothing else to spend your money on but free home tests. This from the Newsroom.
It starts April 4, 2022, and continues until the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) ends. People with Medicare Part B can get up to eight free over-the-counter tests for the month of April any time before April 30, and can then get another set of eight free over-the-counter tests during each subsequent calendar month through the end of the COVID-19 PHE
Starting April 4, 2022, this initiative covers up to eight over-the-counter COVID-19 tests each calendar month. If you’ve gotten eight of these tests in the current calendar month, you will need to wait until the beginning of the next calendar month to get more tests. For example, if you receive eight over-the-counter COVID-19 tests on April 14, 2022, through this initiative, you will not be eligible for another round of eight free over-the-counter COVID-19 tests until May 1, 2022. Note that there can be multiple tests per box, so eight tests may come in fewer than eight boxes.
So if you’re one of those folks who suffer from the fauch Paranoid Syndrome, run down to any participating pharmacy.
It's not their money, so why not?
