- Option 2: If you purchase a COVID-19 test kit at any retail location or online (ex. Amazon, etc.), you can submit a copy of your receipt along with a Direct Member Reimbursement (DMR) form to get reimbursed up to $12 per individual kit. You can find the DMR form here, please submit it to the address listed on top of the form or onto your pharmacy member portal and you will be reimbursed within 30 days.
