The waiver applies to all commercial, individual and Medicare plan members, according to a press release.

“The pandemic is still very real,” said the payer’s CMO, Mark Steffen, MD. “With hospitalizations over the last month at the highest levels we have seen in 2021, we need to remain vigilant.”

A number of payers stopped waiving costs of COVID-19 treatments earlier this year.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
