We appreciate the opportunity to be your partner in health, especially as COVID-19 continues to impact many people in our community. Here are some resources to help.
Testing is a critical part of our fight against COVID-19. How do you know if you should get a test?
-
Do I have any symptoms of COVID-19?
(Symptoms may include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting and diarrhea.) -
Have I had close contact (within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period)
with someone who has been confirmed to have COVID-19?
If you answered
yes to either you should be tested as soon as possible. Please see below for more information on testing options and costs.

COVID-19 coverage
As a Presbyterian health plan member,
there will be no cost to you for anything related to COVID-19 medical treatment. You won’t pay copays, deductibles or coinsurance with in-network providers for visits related to COVID-19, whether at a clinic, hospital or using remote care. If you are on a high deductible health plan (HDHP), you will also have no cost for these services.
Note: Members insured through PNM or TriCore should contact their employer about costs for COVID treatment.
Therapy and counseling options
If you are already seeing a behavioral health provider, we encourage you to continue this important care.
We also offer these
confidential, no cost remote care therapy options.
