I'm not surprised that this happened, which is probably the saddest part, but it's still just so egregious.
LabCorp apparently bills that separately.
I figured at most I'd pay a standard co-pay but apparently not! Also this price does not include any of the actual testing. Something about my deductible, I'm not sure how that factors in. Now if you go onto their website it says that if you are uninsured the video visit would only cost $75, but because I had insurance it costs over twice as much. So the person calls me a few minutes later and schedules me a visit and then drops that they'll be charging my card on file for $156 for the video visit. And it literally didn't last more than 3 and a half minutes (they have a timer running), provided me with zero information, and really wasn't a service at all of any kind. These would have been things you'd fill out on a form in a doctor's office prior to seeing anyone.
Once done, they mentioned someone would call back to schedule an in-person screening.Īgain, I can't stress the simplicity of this video screening. It lasted just about 3 and a half minutes of me answering very basic questions like: do I have symptoms, do I take any medications currently, etc. Checked to make sure they take my insurance (they do), checked my insurance to make sure that they cover COVID tests and they allow ZoomCare and LabCorp (they do, LabCorp is the testing provider).Īll seemed fine so I scheduled a COVID video screening. Long version: I used the Oregon health Authority's website this mornnig to find a testing location (I live near a ZoomCare so I saw that option). We look forward to caring for you in your time of need.TL DR I decided to schedule a COVID screening this morning and was charged $156 for a 3-minute video screen.
