During the COVID-19 federal Public Health Emergency (PHE), Blue Cross® Blue Shield® of Arizona (BCBSAZ) aligned with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) expanded health benefit coverage guidelines, such as covering COVID-19 testing and testing-related services at no out-of-pocket cost.

As the incidence of COVID-19 cases has continued to diminish, CMS announced the May 11, 2023, end to the PHE. Effective May 11, 2023, BCBSAZ benefits will return to standard benefit provisions.
