Bill overview
This bill, the Covering Coronavirus Test Act of 2020, aims to ensure that health insurance plans cover COVID-19 diagnostic tests without requiring patients to pay any costs, such as deductibles or co-pays. It amends existing law to specifically include COVID-19 testing as a covered service under the Public Health Service Act. The goal is to make testing more accessible to individuals seeking diagnosis and treatment for the virus. This would help facilitate better healthcare outcomes during the pandemic.
