COVID-19 At-Home Test Kits Test kits for detecting the COVID-19 virus and its many variants that people can use in their homes are increasingly being used. These tests make it fast, simple, and convenient for non-medical professionals to obtain reliable results. Consumers can access test kits through several different sources. The tests are available through retail stores and pharmacies or through online retailers, some city and borough locations, local public health clinics or through the federal government. Tests can be ordered from the federal government from this website: covidtests.gov Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order four free at-home COVID-19 tests. The tests are completely free. Orders will usually ship in 7-12 days. If your order does not process due to your PO Box number you can call 1-800-275-8777 to talk to a USPS postal service employee. Most insurance companies are required to reimburse the costs of the tests, but consumers may need to use a network pharmacy to obtain the tests at no cost at the point of sale.
