FFCRA - FAQs 51 and at home antibody tests
JMA replied to JMA's topic in Health Plans (Including ACA, COBRA, HIPAA)
Agree. Thank you. -
We read the new FAQs 51 as requiring that plans cover at home antigen AND antibody tests, provided they meet the statutory criteria of FFCRA 6001(a)(1) (e.g. approved by FDA or have an EUA). This is based on FAQ 42, Q4 which includes serological tests, i.e. antibody tests, in the definition of in vitro diagnostic tests. Commentary thus far focuses on the antigen test (i.e. to detect the virus) and not antibody, so just looking to see if others interpretting these FAQs to also cover at home antibody tests. Thanks.
