Insured Patients:

The cost of the visit may or may not be covered by your insurance depending on your insurance plan. Patients are responsible for their co-pays, co-insurance, and deductible when they apply. Therefore, patients are advised to call their insurance companies for more information regarding coverage.

Uninsured Patients:

The base charge for a sick visit is $125. There will be additional charge for COVID test.

Note that a COVID test is not covered by insurance when it is not medically necessary. When the patient does not have COVID-19 symptoms or a known contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 infection and the sole purpose of the test is for travel, employment, social event, etc., hence it is a self-pay visit.
