Here's a look at what the end of the government's emergency declaration on May 11 means for COVID-19 testing.
When the COVID-19 public health emergency ends in the U.S. next month, you'll still have access to a multitude of tests but with one big difference: Who pays for them.
People are also reading… Here's a look at what the end of the government's emergency declaration on May 11 means for testing: "What we will see is a hodgepodge of approaches by different insurance companies, which is going to make it difficult for individuals to know what they're going to be paying," said Christina Silcox, of the Duke Margolis Center for Health Policy, which recently issued a report on the outlook for testing.
While insurers will still cover basic testing costs, some people could face new fees for a portion of the test's price or for the services of the health professional performing it. Lab tests have typically ranged between $70 and $100 and some of that could be passed along to patients. Only after the U.S. government said it would buy 1 billion tests did production stabilize, reaching a peak of 900 million monthly tests in February 2022.
