COVID-19 Health Plan Update

On May 11, 2023, the federal government ended the COVID-19 public health emergency. However in California, COVID-19 care coverage won’t immediately change. This means COVID19 vaccines, PCR and home antigen testing, and treatment will continue to be provided and covered as they are today. These services will be covered at no cost for the next 6 months, until November 12, 2023, in compliance with California law.

We will share more details on how these coverages may change as it becomes available.

Participants can also continue to be reimbursed for COVID-19 test kits and receive vaccines at a retail pharmacy. Kaiser members can visit kp.org for further information and Anthem members can visit https://www.anthem.com/ca/coronavirus/

Tips for staying healthy Even though the public health emergency is ending, it’s still important to practice healthy habits to protect yourself and your family from COVID-19.

Please continue to:

• Get vaccinated and keep up with boosters
• Wear a mask when recommended
• Stay home and test when you feel sick
• Wash your hand

COVID At-Home Test Kits

At-home tests, or "self tests," give rapid results and can be taken anywhere, regardless of your vaccination status or whether or not you have symptoms. Visit CDC.gov to learn when to test yourself, how to use an at-home test, and what your test results mean.
