Anne Arundel County Department of Health issued the following announcement on March 7.
“Governor Larry Hogan [yesterday] issued a directive requiring all state health insurers to waive costs associated with testing for COVID-19. The directive, issued under the governor’s authority during a state of emergency, waives any cost-sharing, including co-payments, coinsurance, and deductibles, in order to remove cost barriers to testing.
'I want to continue to assure Marylanders that our state is taking every precaution when it comes to the coronavirus,' said Governor Hogan. 'Our highest priority is keeping our residents safe. I would encourage all Marylanders to remain calm, but to take this seriously and to continue to stay informed.'.In addition to removing cost barriers to testing, state health carriers will be required to waive any time restrictions on prescription medical refills, making it easier for individuals to obtain medications in advance of any quarantine. Carriers will also be encouraged to offer telehealth services, and to prepare to cover costs of vaccinations for COVID-19."
