Missouri offers free COVID-19 test for home

Missouri residents can receive free, at-home COVID-19 tests to state residents.

To get the test, visit this web address https://picturegenetics.com/covid19?c=MOPROMO. Make your request, and you will receive the test (good for six months) within two days.

These tests come with easy-to-follow instructions. Once you perform the collection by nasal swab, the testing kit needs to be returned to a FedEx collection site within 24 hours. Shipping is free. Test results then are provided via email within two days.

Testing remains a key tool to keeping Missourians safe.

In a separate move, the federal government has authorized every household to receive four free at-home COVID-19 tests. They are available by going to covidtests.gov and filling out a request.

Order the tests now, and keep them on hand in case you need them later if you are exposed to the COVID, experience symptoms, or need a test in advance of travel or a family or social gathering.

If you need assistance getting these tests online, call us at 1-800-748-7826 and ask to speak with a care manager.
