Southern Nevada Allergy and Evolution have partnered to provide you with free in-home COVID tests, delivered monthly to your doorstep! If you (or any of your family and friends) have Medicare Part B insurance, you are eligible to receive free, at-home COVID-19 tests each month.
Through the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), Medicare covers and pays for over-the-counter (OTC) COVID-19 tests at no cost to people with Medicare Part B, including those with Medicare Advantage plans.
As a patient of Southern Nevada Allergy, we want to keep you safe and healthy and we are recommending that our patients take advantage of this wonderful program. The tests will be delivered directly to you for your use or for people who come in contact with you. The benefits of having a COVID test readily available for yourself, family or friends is it will provide an added comfort level when socializing with others.

- Eligible providers or suppliers can distribute U.S. FDA-approved, authorized, or cleared OTC COVID-19 tests to patients enrolled in Part B, including those enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans.
- Each eligible Medicare patient can get up to 8 tests per calendar month until the PHE ends. Medicare won’t pay for more than 8 OTC tests in a month.
