What!? $1,400 total. Don't you love health care costs in the U.S.! The maximum anyone should pay for even the most advanced COVID-19 test should be no greater than $200. Period. With or without health insurance. Can just imagine what that lab must be charging insurance providers. I suppose if people are willing to pay this, they're going to keep preying on folks. Did they try shopping around? Presently 69 percent of the nation's largest hospitals and medical centers charge less than $200 for a PCR test, with a median price of $148 as of April 28th. However, outside of medicare and medicaid there are no cost regulations regarding these tests, but there should be.
