WCTI-TV said several people contacted the station saying they had received a bill for a COVID-19 test they received at Goshen Medical Center.
Goshen Medical Center told the station that all of its COVID-19 tests are free, and the bills occured because of a glitch in its billing system. The medical group practice said any patient who paid their bill for a COVID-19 test should call with proof of payment ready so that it can be refunded.
