COVID-19 Information
Vaccines & Boosters
Science has shown that vaccines and boosters are the best method of protecting yourself, your family, and your community against COVID-19 infection, serious illness, and death. COVID-19 vaccines and boosters are available at no cost at in-network pharmacies or at an in-network medical provider. Coverage at an OON medical provider is available subject to coinsurance, deductible, and balance billing. OON pharmacy coverage is not available.

Testing
To make testing as easy as possible, there are multiple opportunities for you to obtain COVID-19 at-home test kits.
If you are enrolled in the Franklin County Cooperative health plan, you can obtain up to 4 at-home tests per member per month through your pharmacy benefits. Coverage depends on where the test kits are purchased.
Where can I purchase a COVID-19 test kit?
- Any In-Network Pharmacy: Must purchase at the pharmacy counter, not the front counter.
