We appreciate the opportunity to be your partner in health, especially during this trying time when the COVID-19 crisis is so deeply impacting many of you throughout our community. Here are some resources to help you get through this pandemic and stay well.
Testing is a critical part of our fight against COVID-19. How do you know if you should get a test?

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?

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.
Getting healthcare services
You may be concerned about upcoming appointments and getting healthcare services not related to COVID-19.
Most healthcare facilities remain open and many providers, including Presbyterian facilities, are adding remote care options for their patients. If you feel you cannot wait to get care, do not hesitate to seek the care you need. You can learn more about what is going on at our Presbyterian facilities during this time by reading our
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
As a Presbyterian plan member, you already have access to
no cost, 24/7 care options.
