Senators Warren, Duckworth, Van Hollen, Blumenthal Call on Government Task Force to Adopt COVID-19 Testing as a Preventive Screening Tool
Letter
Issues: Health and Health Care
"Although insurers can voluntarily cover COVID-19 testing if they choose, and the Biden-Harris Administration is encouraging them to do so, it is up to individual health insurance plans to make this determination, including whether or not to charge a co-pay.
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
The USPSTF should follow its own guidelines and recommend COVID-19 testing as a preventive service. Given the need for these tests and the ample evidence supporting their value, we encourage you to evaluate and adopt COVID-19 testing as a recommended screening tool without delay."
