In-Home Test Kits Launched on April 28, 2025

May 7, 2025
 

Fully insured groups, in partnership with the vendor Let’s Get Checked, launched the annual In-Home Test Kit program launched on April 28, 2025. The Home Test Kit program is designed to improve health outcomes for members by eliminating access as a barrier to colorectal cancer screening and A1c testing.

Eligible members will receive opt-in invitations for Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) kits and A1c test kits beginning the first week of May 2025. Members must follow the instructions in the opt-in invitation to receive a kit.

We’ve added a new feature this year to improve the member experience. The Member Order Portal will launch in June 2025 and will allow members to order their kits directly through a secure online portal. The portal will also allow members to track their kit through lab processing and provide access to their results.

Members with a current email or mobile phone numbers on file will receive an email or Digital Health Messages (text message from Premera) with a link to the order portal.

  • Member eligibility is based on clinical gaps in care (using clinical HEDIS eligibility based on claims).
  • Test kits are mailed directly to members’ homes.
  • Automated reminder calls and reminder emails will encourage members to return their kit
  • Members collect the sample and return them to the lab using a self-addressed envelope.
  • Results are sent to the member and their provider (if applicable).
