Free testing is available to all County residents, regardless of insurance status. If you have health insurance, your health plan is required to pay for approved COVID-19 tests, according to the State of California. By providing your insurance information, this allows the County to be reimbursed for the cost of the tests from your insurance company. Insurance companies cannot bill individuals or charge any co-payments for COVID-19 tests. Your test is no cost or “free” for you. You can find more information about your plan or learn how to submit a complaint if you received a bill from your insurance company at: https://www.dmhc.ca.gov/File-a-Complaint/Contact-Your-Health-Plan.aspx
Why are we asking for this information?
We collect information to help us identify potential inequality (or disparities) in access at a population level. This information is also required for result reporting to the State of California and the County Department of Public Health to help track and trend the impact of COVID-19 on different communities.
