IMPORTANT CHANGES TO OUR MEDICAL PLAN EFFECTIVE MAY 12, 2023

Our country has been under a Public Health Emergency since January 31, 2020. During this time, our Medical Plan has offered unique and temporary benefits to help members cover costs related to COVID-19. The Public Health Emergency will end on May 11, 2023 which means the temporary benefits will be terminated effective May 12, 2023.

What does this mean if I am enrolled in City of Detroit Lakes medical plan?

COVID-19 Test and Antibody Test received at a clinic

·         Effective May 12, 2023, expenses for testing received at a clinic will be subject to plan benefits. This means you may be responsible for the cost of the office visit, COVID-19 test and Antibody test when received. Remember that the overall cost of your visit and test will be less when administered at an in-network provider.

COVID-19 Test purchased over the counter

·         Effective May 12, 2023, you will be responsible for the cost of any over the counter COVID-19 test purchased. The cost of the test will not be reimbursable under the medical plan. You can, however, use your Health Saving Account (H.S.A.) dollars to pay for the purchased over the counter COVID-19 test.

COVID-19 Vaccinations and Boosters

·         COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters will remain covered at 100% under Preventive Care when received at an in-network clinic. Any vaccination or booster received at an out-of-network clinic will be subject to the out-of-network Preventive Care benefit level highlighted on the SBC.
