Medicare enrollees will be able to receive up to eight at-home tests per month, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced on Feb. 3. CMS officials say the initiative will be up and running in early spring, but exact dates and details have not yet been announced. Medicare will pay eligible pharmacies and other participating locations directly, so beneficiaries will not have to pay anything up front for the tests.
