COVID-19 Update: Testing, Treatment and Telehealth Visits at No Cost

In continuing support of the Governor's efforts to proactively address the COVID-19 pandemic, the State of Arizona's Benefits Services Division is offering you and your covered dependents expanded coverage for COVID-19 services at no cost. Your health care plan will now pay for the treatment of COVID-19 at in-network facilities and providers.

What This Means

  • For a COVID-19 diagnosis, there will be no deductible, copays or coinsurance for:
    • Testing at in-network or out-of-network facilities.
    • Treatment at in-network facilities and providers. For example, if you have to get treatment at an in-network hospital, you will be covered at no cost.
  • ​This includes the EPO, PPO and HDHP plans with all carriers.
  • ​This includes telehealth services. 
  • Effective immediately through October 22, 2020.
