Anthem latest insurer to waive patient costs for coronavirus testing

Anthem (ANTM -4.3%) is following Cigna’s lead with its announcement that its members will incur no out-of-pocket cost for coronavirus screening tests and no prior authorization for diagnostic services will be required.

It also recommends that members utilize telehealth when possible in an effort to mitigate the risk of infection or spread of COVID-19.

Cigna announced its waiver yesterday as did CVS Health’s Aetna.
