Vaccine safety

The U.S. vaccine safety system ensures that all vaccines are as safe as possible. Safety is a top priority while federal partners work to make COVID-19 vaccines available. To learn more visit CDC.gov/Coronavirus/Vaccines.

COVID-19 Testing

Every U.S. household is eligible to order four (4) free at-home COVID-19 tests. COVID-19 testing can help you know if you have COVID-19 so you can decide what to do next, like getting treatment to reduce your risk of severe illness and lowering your chances of spreading the virus to others.

Your order of COVID tests is free. You won't even pay for shipping. To learn more, visit CovidTests.gov.

You can also receive free testing through community programs at CovidTests.gov. All MedStar Health Urgent Care centers provide free testing to MedStar Family Choice DC Enrollees, with or without COVID-19 symptoms. 

Transportation to COVID-19 vaccination appointments

We provide Enrollee transportation to and from vaccination appointments at no cost to you. This is a covered benefit for both DC Healthy Families and DC Healthcare Alliance. To schedule transportation, call 866-201-9974.
