Hello,

We recognize that with the constantly changing COVID-19 situation around the world, this is an unprecedent time for everyone. The health and safety of our faculty, staff and students is our highest priority.

UnitedHealthcare will waive member cost sharing, including copays, coinsurance and deductibles, for COVID-19 diagnostic testing provided at approved locations in accordance with CDC guidelines for all commercial insured, Medicaid and Medicare members.
