Expanding Access to At-Home Tests to Combat Infectious Diseases
Expanding Access to At-Home Tests to Combat Infectious Diseases
About the Coalition
The Testing At Home Coalition is working to expand access to at-home diagnostic tools to combat infectious diseases. At-home tests are an important public health tool that allow for low-cost, widespread testing, with rapid results, which help identify illness and play an important role in the delivery of timely, clinically-appropriate care. We support maintaining Medicare coverage for at-home tests for COVID-19, and expanding such coverage to other infectious diseases to ensure beneficiaries have access to the accurate, reliable diagnostic tools they need to manage their health.
Access
Ensure Medicare beneficiaries have the same access to at-home diagnostic tools as those with private insurance.
Coverage
Advocate for continued coverage of at-home COVID-19 tests to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
Innovation
Increase access to the next generation of at-home tests for infectious diseases by supporting the development of appropriate Medicare coverage and reimbursement policies.
