I may need to get tested for the corona virus to satisfy a requirement to help out an older person in their house. I doubt if insurance will cover the cost since it is required more to assure others than because I have any symptoms or known exposure to a person who is infectious .
I called my doctor's office and they only test people who have already seen their doctor and have symptoms of the disease.
I then talked to a local walk-in clinic that is asking first for a tele-visit with one of their people that costs $99. Then they will inform me if I can be tested and which clinic to go to and get the test. Of course, the actual test cost is in addition to the $99.
Does this sound normal? If I need the test, I need it regardless of whether or not there $99 person thinks I should get it or not. What did you have to go through to get the test simply to assure yourself or others than you probably don't have CV. What was the cost?
