CVS
A number of CVS locations are offering COVID testing. To schedule an appointment online at CVS, patients can fill out a form to determine whether they are eligible for a test. The survey asks about symptoms, age, where you live (ie: in a nursing home or long term care facility), any other conditions that may put you at risk, and whether you have been recommended for a test by a health-care provider. If approved, patients must bring proof of identity and in-state residence, and can stay in their car while they administer their own nasal swab to submit to the clinic.CVS Clinic

TESTS WITH INSURANCE
Allegheny Health Network
Drive-through tests. "Only patients who have been previously evaluated by a health care provider for COVID-19 symptoms and who have a valid prescription order from their doctor may get tested here. Check here for other information about Allegheny Health Network testing: ahn.org/coronavirus/faqs/testing.html#test Cost: From the AHN website: "The federal government has issued a directive requiring health insurance companies to waive member cost-sharing amounts for testing for COVID-19. Health insurance plans were informed to eliminate cost sharing, co-pays, deductibles, and coinsurance for medically necessary testing for COVID-19. The federal government has also passed legislation that provides free coronavirus testing to individuals without insurance. COVID-19 testing covered with no cost to patients, requires an insurer to pay either the rate specified in a contract between the provider and the insurer, or, if there is no contract, a cash price posted by the provider. Insurance companies with whom an AHN facility does not have a contract may find the cash price for COVID-19 testing; SARS COV2 COVID AMB PROBE $77.00, SARS COV2 COVID AMB PROBE HTP $150.00, and COVID AB MULTIPLE STEP $37.00.
Allegheny Health Network promises to provide medically necessary services to patients no matter how much they can pay. If you have questions, or need assistance with information regarding the AHN Financial Assistance program, or other government programs, visit ahn.org/about/uninsured-financial-assistance."

MedExpress centers are providing COVID-19 testing — some offer drive-up while others require patients to enter the building. Screening to determine eligibility will take place at the MedExpress location. Walk-in or register online: medexpress.com/covid19/medexpress-covid19-testing-centers.html. Cost: From website: "MedExpress only bills patients for the evaluation and treatment they receive from our medical providers during their visit. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide any information about how our commercial lab partner, LabCorp, will bill patients for COVID-19 testing, nor are we able to provide information about how specific insurance carriers will process claims related to COVID-19 testing and treatment. Many health insurance companies across the country have stated that they will cover the full cost of any testing for COVID-19. However, if you have questions or concerns about your specific insurance plan, it is a good idea to check with your insurance company to learn if it covers the test."
