Molina Healthcare said it will continue to waive all out-of-pocket costs associated with COVID-19 treatment through the end of 2020.
The extension applies to its Medicare, Medicaid and Affordable Care Act exchange customers.
“We want to entirely remove the burden of any expenses associated with testing and treatment for COVID-19,” said Jason Dees, the insurer’s executive vice president and chief medical officer.
Molina had announced the cost waivers a few months ago but did not say when they would expire.
The announcement comes a few days after Anthem decided to extend the cost-share waivers through the end of 2020. Anthem also extended the coverage and waived cost-sharing for virtual care through Sept. 30.
