Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana says it will waive out-of-pocket costs for coronavirus medical treatments.
The state’s largest insurer has previously said it was covering all medically necessary diagnostic tests for COVID-19 without any out-of-pocket costs to members, as long as the tests are consistent with U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention guidance.
Effective April 1 through May 31, Blue Cross is waiving mem-bers’ out-of-pocket costs (deductible, copay or coinsurance) for medical treatment of COVID-19 by in-network physicians, urgent care centers, hospitals and other health care providers.
