Insurer says the cost of federally mandated testing might be offset by lower health care use with pandemic surges
UnitedHealth Group, and its health insurance business UnitedHealthcare, are based in Minnetonka.
UnitedHealthcare has agreements with Walmart and a growing list of retailers to make available free at-home COVID-19 tests when subscribers present their ID cards at pharmacy counters.
The benefit is available to more than 26 million people with UnitedHealthcare commercial insurance, a group that primarily consists of those covered by employer-sponsored health plans.
Minnetonka-based UnitedHealthcare, which is the nation's largest health insurer, has seen in recent weeks a 10% decline in primary care visits and a larger drop in patients visiting specialist physicians with the surge of infections caused by the omicron variant.
