You will need to register before testing at https://lhi.care/covidtesting or call 888-634-1116.
How much will the test cost?
Nothing.
What if I receive a bill?
If you received COVID-19 related services after March 18, 2020, you should not receive a bill thanks to the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which requires Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance plans to cover the cost of services entirely.
Be sure your medical provider sends correct billing codes to your insurance carrier. Incorrect billing codes can result in billing errors.
Reach out to your insurance company. New procedures are in place, and mistakes happen. Call member services on your insurance ID card to find out more.
Call your insurance broker for assistance.
File an appeal with the insurance company. You have six months to appeal an adverse benefit determination.
What if I choose a non-network facility for testing?
Most insurance companies cover the cost of services in full, even if you choose to go outside of the network.
What if my doctor did not order a COVID-19 test?
Your doctor will bill for services conducted. If there are no COVID-19 related charges, the services will be billed according to your benefit plan.
What if I need more than one COVID-19 test?
Insurance companies will pay multiple tests at zero cost-share.
What about at-home COVID-19 testing?
The FDA has not authorized any test available for in-home use.
