COVID-19 coverage updates  

President Joe Biden has signed a bill that will officially end the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) at the end of the day on May 11, 2023. As a result, CarePartners of Connecticut is returning to many pre-pandemic operations and policies and will be updating the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Updates for Providers page.

CarePartners of Connecticut will continue to comply with federal and state guidelines for COVID-19 vaccines, boosters and treatment. Some updates include:

• COVID-19 vaccines: In-network COVID-19 vaccines will remain covered at no cost to our members. We are following federal and state guidance related to out-of-network member cost shares for these services.
• Over-the-counter/home testing kits: On May 12, 2023, following the end of the PHE, we will no longer cover over-the-counter COVID-19 tests for Medicare members through their Red, White and Blue Medicare card.
• Provider ordered testing and treatment: COVID-19 tests, treatments and services ordered by a provider, including Paxlovid, will remain covered and we follow federal guidelines regarding approved treatments. We are following state guidance related to cost shares for these services
