Blue Cross of Oklahoma will reimburse you for tests purchased at stores and your ID card works to pay for them directly at Walgreens, WalMart etc that have built in pharmacy departments and can swipe your medical ID card.
But remember this only applies to under 65 individuals and those on group insurance.
Medicare is not part of the 8 tests per month ruling.

At-home testing
If you have employer coverage, or an individual or family plan, we will be covering FDA-authorized over-the-counter COVID-19 tests for diagnosing COVID-19 through your BCBSOK/Prime Therapeutics® pharmacy benefits. If you use a pharmacy in Prime’s network, you should not have to submit a separate claim for reimbursement. We will cover FDA-authorized over-the-counter diagnostic tests purchased on or after January 15, You will be reimbursed up to $12 per test, up to 8 tests every 30 days per person. (For example, you can purchase 4 boxes that include 2 over-the-counter COVID-19 tests.)
Over-the-counter tests for things like return to work or school, travel and recreational event requirements may not be covered.
You can also request free OTC tests through the federal government’s site. These tests do not count toward the 8 tests per covered member every 30 days under your BCBSOK coverage.
If you aren’t sure if a test kit is FDA-authorized, ask your pharmacist for help.
If an in-network pharmacy can’t submit your claim electronically, you can submit a claim for reimbursement.
If you don’t have pharmacy benefits with BCBSOK/Prime, please contact your health plan administrator for more information.
Take your test to the pharmacy counter to pay for your test.
Medicare: Over-the-counter diagnostic tests are not covered at this time. COVID-19 tests ordered by a health care professional continue to be covered at no cost under your medical benefits.
