At-home COVID-19 tests available through Express Scripts®
HISD plan members may use their Express Scripts® pharmacy benefit to obtain up to eight at-home COVID-19 tests per month for a $0 copay. The tests are not provided through the medical benefit (Aetna). Visit a participating pharmacy and select a COVID-19 at-home test. Take your test to the pharmacy (not the general check-out register) and present your prescription benefit card to the pharmacist, who will then process the test for a $0 copay. Please see the Express Scripts page for instructions on what to do if the COVID-19 test does not process for $0 copay.
