Department of Risk Management

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Effective January 15, 2022, consistent with President Biden’s recent Executive Order and federal guidance, Cook County health plan members can obtain up to 8 over-the-counter rapid COVID-19 tests monthly at no cost. Members must use a CVS in-network pharmacy and present their CVS pharmacy ID card. If a test is purchased out-of-pocket at an in-network location on or after that date, members should keep their receipt and file a paper claim. More information will follow in a future Wellness Wednesday email blast.

Office staffing is limited as Risk Management employees may be working remotely. Please contact the voice message system 312-603-6385 or the email message system risk.mgmt@cookcountyil.gov  and a member of the department will get back to you as soon as possible.  

Employees and their dependents should continue to monitor these pages for updates.
