Question: How much does it cost to get Covid tested in NYC if you don’t have insurance?

I am flying in to JFK in January. I would like to end quarantine after 4 days as per current guidelines. I will be carrying the results of Covid tests from my home country. I do understand the process may change, but would like an estimate based on current process. My company insurance will kick in a week later.

Don’t say you need it for traveling. They’ll charge you $300 for a travel test. If you say testing due to possible exposure then it’s free. This has been my experience as well as my friends in the city even with insurance they charge you if you want it for travel.

Test should still be free, even if you don’t have insurance. Do a little research on this, I think there is a list of pharmacies that are participating

Pretty sure it’s free everywhere here in NYC. Citymd lines can be pretty terrible. I go to the ER near me, no charge, and I get results within a day

Where at?

Free! Got antibody and regular test at citymd in april

I've seen most state $125-150

If you say you have symptoms or been in contact - it’s free. If it’s to get out of the mandatory quarantine it’s not.

This is what Aetna told me. On their website it says “doctor recommendation required” and I called about it.

Is CityMD my best option? Or are there other options for the paid ones?

This^ and you can get PCR with quicker turn around

Regular tests are free (results within 72 hour). Rapid tests are the ones you have to pay (results in 15mins). I’ve heard the rapid tests might not be as accurate though.

The clinic near me said PCR was free with insurance and rapid wasn’t covered at all and would be 85

NYC public hospitals do it for free, no insurance needed

Free!

It’s free

$100

Is it worth telling my mgr something eg I recognize the careless mistakes and I'm in the process of seeing tx to help?
