"Masks and social distancing while on line will be strictly enforced."

You mean like in the drivers room? It's a COVID incubator.

Hopefully they will be set up OUTSIDE.

Funny you say that ... How much?
My niece & nephew (who have insurance) and their 3 kids went to City MD in June to get tested. They were told like all of us that there is no copayment. Friday they got a bill in the mail for $1375.00. $275 per person which is there regular copay for an ER visit. My niece called up and they didn't want to hear anything. Obviously she's going to fight it.

Only one I trust for really free is Health & Hospitals. Any place else, tell them you don't have any insurance and see if they do it for "free."

On their own website it says ...

"Per the CARES Act, CityMD is not collecting copayments for COVID-19 related visits. CityMD does not bill for lab testing and inquiries regarding lab bills should discussed directly with the lab partner."

I went and got a test at urgent care with Fidelis coverage when we were furloughed a week before we went back to work and it was free...when I went to my regular dr last month with our insurance I just had to pay the 25 dollar co pay office visit

Yes, as far as I know, guys are getting paid. Kind of have to admire the timing of this testing from the company's standpoint ... intended or not ... but the week we're not working they won't have to pay anybody for being out.

Anyone get results back from the testing for Covid ?

[sbdriver1]

Not yet. Still waiting for the results

[Eucerin]

Anyone??

[Buzz]

Well, shit! It was a week ago. If you had it you'd know before you got the results ... unless you're asymptomatic.

Got my results in 2 days from H & H a while ago ... but maybe they weren't as busy as now.
