Duplin County Health Department: Beneficiaries can receive free at-home tests
NC Medicaid Beneficiaries Can Receive Free At-Home Tests for COVID-19 from Local Pharmacies
Beneficiaries should select an at-home test at their preferred pharmacy and present their NC Medicaid ID card to the pharmacy for no out-of-pocket cost. The pharmacist will be able to bill Medicaid on the patient’s behalf.
Testing is an important tool to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Public health experts and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that Americans use at-home tests if 1) they begin to have symptoms, 2) at least five days after coming in close contact with someone who has COVID-19, or 3) are gathering indoors with a group of people who are not in their households.
