ABSURD, EGREGIOUS FEES AS HIGH AS $17,000 BEING BILLED FOR PCR TESTS

$17,000 BEING BILLED FOR PCR TESTS
Just heard an NPR segment talking about insurance costs in which they referred to PCR tests as "the gold standard" (clearly uninformed), and said some insurance companies are charging astronomical fees for a test that should be no more than $20!

Travis Warner, 36, is self-employed and bought his health plan from Molina Healthcare via HealthCare.gov. Travis received PCR diagnostic tests for covid, as well as rapid antigen tests. When the results came back negative, it was a huge relief, Warner says...until the bill came.

$56,384, including $54,000 for the PCR test and the balance for the antigen test and an ER facility fee. Molina's negotiated rate for both tests and the facility fee totaled $16,915.20, which the insurer paid in full.

This is a perfect example of how broken this "health" system is in America. This should be a crime.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>>>
