COVID-19 Legislation Includes Group Health Plan Coverage Requirements | Practical Law
Congress has passed, and the President has signed, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), which was enacted in response to the US outbreak of COVID-19, the disease that results from the SARS-CoV-2 virus (Pub. L. No. 116-127). Among other provisions, the FFCRA requires group health plans and health insurers to provide first-dollar coverage for testing to detect SARS-CoV-2 or diagnose COVID-19.
