Medicare covers a COVID-19 antibody (or serology) test. This FDA-authorized test helps see if you’ve developed an immune response and may not be at immediate ...risk of COVID-19 reinfection. Antibody tests should not be used to diagnose a current COVID-19 infection, except in instances in which viral testing is delayed. An antibody test may not show if you have a current COVID-19 infection because it can take 13 weeks after infection for your body to make antibodies. If you have questions about how Medicare covers COVID related needs, contact your Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) for help. See more
