Natures Natural Christmas Tree Article Provided By: Pat Nanney Recent media reports and complaints to our offi ce show that people often incur unexpected charges when getting a test for COVID-19. While Congress passed rules aimed to make COVID-19 testing free nationwide, consumers are sometimes charged for other services during their visit. Here's how to avoid a surprise charge while getting a COVID-19 test: • Get tested at one of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Service's No-Cost Community Testing Events. NC DHHS is offering more than 120 free testing events across North Carolina in advance of Thanksgiving. • If possible, get your test at a public testing site. Sometimes, private clinics or hospitals charge patients a "facility fee" that can amount to more money than the test itself. • Ask your doctor if you'll be charged for other services before your visit. Sometimes, health care providers administer and charge for tests for multiple illnesses along with a COVID-19 test. • If you're uninsured, ask your health care provider how they bill uninsured patients. The federal government has created a provider relief fund that offers reimbursement for providers for some COVID-19-related costs. • If you get an unexpected charge, call our offi ce. Our consumer protection specialists can help North Carolinians seek relief and dispute charges if necessary. As we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, it's crucial that we do so with accurate information and protect our personal information and money in the process. If you develop COVID-19 symptoms, stay home and call your doctor. If you believe that you have been the victim of a scam, contact our offi ce's Consumer Protection Division at ncdoj.gov/fi le-a-complaint or 1-877-5-NO-SCAM.
