Educators Health Alliance Wellness Announcement

EHA Wellness Representatives and participants:  

Dear Members,

On behalf of the EHA Board of Directors, we would like to share an important update regarding EHA's wellness programming.

After careful consideration, the Board has made the decision to conclude its wellness programming through Karmady, LLC. We want to express our appreciation to Karmady for its support of EHA's program and to all participants who have engaged with and supported this component of EHA's wellness programming. We are grateful for the commitment shown by everyone involved.

The current Karmady wellness programming will continue operating during a transition period and will formally conclude on Sept. 23, 2026. Participants may continue to utilize program resources and services as they normally would during this time.

Although the current wellness programming administered through Karmady will conclude, members will continue to have access to a variety of wellness resources and initiatives offered through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska, including programs such as Wellframe, Virta, Hinge Health and other health and wellness services. The Board remains committed to supporting the health and well-being of our members and will continue to evaluate wellness needs and opportunities to ensure meaningful resources and programs are available in the future.

As additional information becomes available, participants will receive guidance regarding any next steps, transition details or program-related changes. Our priority is to ensure that members remain informed throughout this process and experience a smooth transition.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support. Should you have questions, please contact your association office for assistance.

Sincerely,

Isau Mctes
EHA Chair/NSEA

NEW!! Over-the-counter COVID-19 testing

Test kits that do not require a doctor’s order or a lab to read the results are considered over-the-counter (OTC). Beginning Jan. 15, 2022, there will be a $0 cost share for up to eight individual OTC COVID-19 tests per member per 30 days. This applies to all fully-insured and self-funded groups that utilize BCBSNE’s pharmacy benefits manager, Prime Therapeutics, as well as individual health plan members. This does not apply to Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement or Medicare Part D members.

The current list of eligible OTC COVID-19 tests is below. Only these tests are eligible for reimbursement. Tests purchased prior to Jan. 15, 2022, are not eligible for reimbursement.

Our pharmacy benefits manager, Prime Therapeutics, has established a preferred network of pharmacies to support members in obtaining at home tests without member cost share. This network includes approximately 65,000 pharmacies nationwide. These preferred pharmacies can bill OTC COVID-19 tests directly to your insurance, resulting in no cost to you.

Tests purchased from a non-preferred pharmacy, online retailer or retail store can be submitted for reimbursement through the pharmacy paper claims process for OTC COVID-19 tests. These claims will be reimbursed at a maximum of $12 per individual OTC COVID-19 test. For example, a box that includes two tests would be reimbursed at a maximum of $24. Shipping and tax are not reimbursable.

COVID-19 testing for public surveillance or employment purposes is not covered. This includes testing for work, school, travel and other public surveillance reasons, unless reimbursement becomes required by law.
