Question for anyone who has gotten tested

[Brown Down]

I was tested a few weeks ago(negative thankfully) and just received a bill for it. I thought the testing was fully covered by our insurance. Has anyone else received a bill not fully covered by your insurance. Mine is anthem blue cross blue shield if it helps.

The co-pay, co-insurance and deductibles are all supposed to be waived if you are directed to be tested. I don't know if this applies if you ask to be tested without a doctor's order.

I got tested this past Wednesday. Had the results Friday morning-----negative. I was not asked for my health insurance card.

I was directed to get tested by a doctor. Might have to call my locals head office and find out why it's not fully covered

I also have BC/BS and my daughter was tested Tuesday (also a negative, thankfully). I'll have to look, but we were at the doc's for something else and the test was ordered before any procedure could be done. Just assumed it was covered but will have to check now.

Out of network?

Will have to call tomorrow. As for out of plan I did a telemed call and was instructed to get ahold of my local health dept to proceed. I don't know how it would be out of network if that's how things are being ran at a state level.

Were any of you tested for being sick?

I was. Called in for not feeling well and having a few of the symptoms and was told I had to get tested

You are lucky.

I wasn't able to get tested but was told I would probably test positive.

Dry cough, fever, headache, chills, shivering, no appetite, malaise.

Good times.

Update after calling the local. Someone put the info in wrong as it should have been fully covered. Glad I called
