COVID-19 Safety Guidelines and Testing Coverage:
The safety of our
employees remains our top priority. All employees should continue to follow the
COVID-19 Travel Restrictions
and
COVID-19 Health and Hygiene guidelines.
-
If your healthcare provider has confirmed that you are at risk and should be tested
for COVID-19, this
test will be covered under all Boston Scientific Medical Plans (PPO, HDHP and
HMO) at 100%. All regular copayments, coinsurance and deductible amounts will be waived, so that
your out-of-pocket expenses will be $0.
-
If you choose to be tested at your own discretion, without recommendation of your
physician or as a requirement by a healthcare facility, coverage of that test is
subject to applicable deductibles and co-payments pursuant to your health insurance
plan.
