Do you have people coming into to your practice wanting to get tested? Are you turning them away? If you are, you shouldn't. HRSA.gov has a reimbursement program, even if your patient is not insured.

President Trump is providing support to health care providers fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trump signed the following:
"Families First Coronavirus Response Act or FFCRA (P.L. 116-127) and the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act or PPPHCEA (P.L. 116-139), which each appropriate $1 billion to reimburse providers for conducting COVID-19 testing for the uninsured;"
and the,
"Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (P.L. 116-136), which provides $100 billion in relief funds, including to hospitals and other health care providers on the front lines of the COVID-19 response, and the PPPHCEA, which appropriated an additional $75 billion in relief funds. Within the Provider Relief Fund, a portion of the funding will be used to support healthcare-related expenses attributable to the treatment of uninsured individuals with COVID-19. A portion of the funding will also be used for COVID-19 vaccine administration to uninsured individuals when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorizes a vaccine under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) or licenses a vaccine under a Biologics License Application (BLA)."
