The Uninsured Program Portal will allow providers to submit claims for reimbursement for uninsured COVID-19 patients who received testing or treatment on or after Feb. 4. Providers will generally be reimbursed at Medicare rates for testing and treating uninsured COVID-19 patients.
The payment for uninsured COVID-19 patients is part of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. The new portal can be accessed at COVIDUninsuredClaim.HRSA.gov.
