Plain-English summary
No Surprises for COVID-19 Tests Act
This bill extends the temporary period during which private health insurance plans must cover testing and related services for COVID-19 without cost sharing. It also temporarily applies certain consumer protections against surprise billing to such testing and related services.
Finally, beginning on May 1, 2022, insurance plans without a negotiated price for COVID-19 testing services are no longer required to pay providers the published cash price for such services.
