Families First Coronavirus Response Act Would Prohibit Insurers from Paying for Some COVID-19 Tests
Association for Diagnostic and Laboratory Medicine (ADLM (formerly AACC))AACC greatly values the work that the U.S. House of Representatives has done to support American families in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak and is supportive of the goals of H.R. 6201, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act. However, we are concerned that the language as currently drafted does not provide coverage for COVID-19 tests performed prior to those tests receiving Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
