Reimbursements for COVID-19 care of uninsured patients
The federal government is reimbursing health care providers for testing and treating uninsured individuals for COVID-19 — including related services provided via virtual telehealth visits.
Health care providers, including health centers, can submit claims for eligible COVID-19 services (e.g., testing an uninsured patient for COVID-19 or treating a patient with a primary COVID-19 diagnosis) provided on or after February 4, 2020. Reimbursements, subject to funding availability, are generally paid at Medicare rates.
Visit the Health Resource and Services Administration’s (HRSA) COVID-19 Uninsured Program Portal 
to learn more about the program or submit a claim.
