There has to be made an exception for this ffs. Let the government pay for it or something.

After all it should be in their interest to know just how many of it's people are carrying the disease. How to monitor the situation if you have no clue how many sick people are running through the streets untested, because they don't have the money for it?

from the article:

Luckily, the CDC — the only facility equipped to test for COVID-19 (the disease the virus causes) or designate other laboratories to do so — is not billing for testing. This means a patient who goes to the ER or urgent care for coronavirus treatment wouldn't incur a charge for COVID-19 lab testing.
As Azcue's case proves, though, patients aren't off the hook for charges related to tests for other viruses or conditions, or the trip to the medical provider itself. How much a hospital stay would cost for a particular patient depends on what procedures are run and their insurance plan, if they have one. Azcue's insurance plan, for example, didn't cover the cost of an ER visit.

How is the CDC "the only facility equipped to test for COVID-19" though?

hopefully this crisis is at least enough for people to lose faith in Trump.

How can someone's insurance plan not cover an ER visit. Total scam.

You should have a health-info hotline to determine if the people carry the virus. Going to the ER makes things worse because you can infect your peers, doctors and nurses

So they fell for the hype too? Sad!

What are they paying insurance for if it cant cover something as basic as ER visit?

There's no proof of that, it comes most likely transmitted from a bat in a wet market

You guys don't understand how much of a scam insurance here is.

You can use "11223" as a zip code.

exactly, that’s why it’s a scam. It doesn’t cover shit, and even the shit that it might cover, you still end up paying out the ass for it.

mine covers pretty much everything so that’s why I’m happy with it but I’m a very small minority.

its indefensible at this point

imagine if that doctor you see at the er is out of network even though the facility isn’t, better not to get tested and stay home for a few days

Apparently lots of home-testing being done here to keep people from coming into doctors’ offices and infecting others.

 

[HelterSkelter]

Anyone tried making hand sanitizer at home?

Things are a mess here in BC. Atleast the lower mainland. Not sure about other parts of the province. Stores stock up and its all gone within the hour. I assume its friends and family of staff members who are getting lucky since they know when the shipments come in.

I know some retailers ( Bed Bath and Beyond ) have introduced limits of 5 per customer. That should be the case everwhere.

McDonalds like drive-through testing being done at my local hospital.
