Hi Mr. F

Thank you for contacting the Optum Store concerning expiration date of your COVID-19 test kits. 

On April 6, 2021 the FDA extended the shelf life of the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card test kit. This means the expiry date you see printed on your test kits has been extended an additional three (3) months. For example, a test kit with an expiration date of 2021-10-03 (October 3, 2021) will now expire 2022-01-03 (January 3, 2022). 

Per the Optum Store website COVID kits may expire as soon as December 21, 2021 with the 3-month extension. At this time we are unable to request COVID test kits with a specific expiration date. The kits you received have not expired and therefore this order is non-refundable.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to email us at support@store.optum.com, you can also give us a call at (855) 946-4463 Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. CST and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00am - 6:00pm CST.

Thank you, 

Optum Store Team
