I cannot thank them enough for their courage and sacrifice in spite of various challenges like shortage of PPEs, ever-changing COVID-19 guidelines and issues with Labs,” said Narinder Saini, MD, Chief Medical Director of Hometown Urgent Care. “We also appreciate the support and patience our patients and our communities have given to Hometown Teams,” added Dr. Saini.
Hometown provides COVID-19 (PCR) and Antibody testing accessible to people regardless of their insurance coverage. Hometown has prioritized access to testing by taking all major insurance providers and informing uninsured people of their ability to get tested under the CARES ACT. While all insurances are covering COVID-19 tests, deductibles or co-insurance may apply. If uninsured, the CARES ACT will cover the test cost for patients experiencing symptoms or have had exposure to COVID-19. Antibody tests may require co-pay as per patient’s insurance.
“Quick and Accessible COVID-19 testing is key to properly diagnose and treat patients while also helping to reduce anxiety among our communities and return everyone safely to work,” said Manoj Kumar, CEO of Hometown Urgent Care.
