Needed a rapid covid test for an international trip. Went to the pop-up urgent care place since they advertised rapid test turnaround and were relatively close by. Long story short, just got a bill for a few hundred bucks each for me and my wife totaling close to $600 for exams plus the cost of the covid tests. I just wanted a test, told them why I needed it yet they came in and listened to my lungs asked why I was there, took my temp, etc. I assumed all of that was SOP for the test but also had an inclination that this was going to be an issue.
Love how no pricing or anything was discussed during my appt before or after. Never assume anything. Aren't these places getting govt kickbacks for these tests? Why the need for the exam? Just to milk my visit? I told them up front I didn't have any symptoms and needed it for a trip only.
