Man shocked with Covid test's bill!
Travis Warner, of Lewisville, Texas, had his heart in his mouth after undergoing a Covid-19 test. The bill, not the Covid-19 test result, which was negative, surprised him. He was charged $56,384, which included $54,000 for a PCR test (nearly Rs 40 lakh) and the remainder for an antigen test and facility fee. In the United States, such anecdotes are not uncommon. In the midst of the Covid-19 epidemic, unexpectedly high costs for Covid-19 testing have surdata-faced. In the United States, PCR Covid 19 tests usually cost between $8 and $15.
"What is wrong with the United States?" The price for a few tests for this individual was $54,000!!! His wife's insurance negotiated a $1000 cost for her!! PCR testing can be costly in and of itself.
After Covid-19 hit last year, Travis Warner, who instals internet and television systems, experienced an uptick in business as people were stranded on their couches for months.
This is where he was presented with the massive cost of $56,384. Molina Healthcare bargained a total of $16,915.20 for both tests and the department charge, which the insurance paid in full.
Surprisingly, his wife was charged $2,000 for the same tests on the same day at the same location. Her claim was resolved for less than $1,000 thanks to a second insurance coverage she had.
