CMS releases FAQ on requirement to post cash price for diagnostic tests
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has posted a FAQ on the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act requirement that providers of COVID-19 diagnostic tests make public the cash price for the tests on their website during the public health emergency.
The FAQ also notes that under the CARES Act and Families First Coronavirus Response Act, group health plans generally must reimburse providers of COVID-19 diagnostic tests at the negotiated rate or cash price, and cover certain COVID-19 diagnostic testing without cost sharing, prior authorization or other medical management requirements during the public health emergency.
