Tests Covered by Horizon NJ Health

Beginning January 15, 2022, Horizon NJ Health is covering OTC, at-home COVID-19 test kits through our members' Pharmacy benefits.

Horizon NJ Health members can get OTC, at-home test kits at one of our participating pharmacies. In order for these kits to be covered, members must go to the pharmacy counter and show their Horizon NJ Health member ID card. The pharmacy will process the kit(s) as part of your Pharmacy benefit at no cost to you.

Horizon NJ Health will only cover tests that you get through your Pharmacy benefit. We will not provide a refund or give any reimbursements for tests purchased by members.

Members have coverage for four tests per date of service, up to eight tests per month. However, due to supply and demand, pharmacies and online retailers may limit the number of tests bought at one time.

Currently, the following OTC, at-home tests are included in the coverage:

• BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self- Test
• CareStart COVID-19 Antigen Home Test
• iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Test
