unexpected costs, brian takes a closer look at the charges for both insured and uninsured patients. >>the federal government's covid relief funding program provides for a series of services related to public testing and supplying health care workers with needed resources to treat the sick but aside from swab and saliva tests and ppe just what the government covers in dealing with this pandemic is a bit hazy so let's break it down to help you avoid some unexpected bills if you have insurance and are hospitalized for covid are you covered. well, according to nisha karate at the kaiser family foundation, it depends on whether an the cost for covid-19 treatment if they are hospitalized discovered. >>on rain may really comes down to what the insurance company has decided the best bet if you're insured is to ask about your plans covid coverage for hospitalization costs and do so before you end up in a hospital care situation depending on your
9:39 am
plan you may need to work with your insurance company to get it to pay for certain treatments as with many insurance decisions costs can be a factor for example, it costs a lot more to put a covid patient on a ventilator and supply of remdesivir a drug originally developed for hepatitis doctors have emergency fda authorization to use on covid patients so depending on the level of care you need. >>your insurance may only pay for part of the costs but what if you don't have insurance at all that answer seems less complicated at least on the surface the legislation passed in earlier this year in 2020. >>does provide hospitals and providers with funding for treating after the cost of treating. i'm insured individuals for covid-19 it sounds like people without insurance needing covid treatment paid for are in good shape. but we received this statement from the department of health and human services quote. >>reimbursement under the uninsured program will be made for qualifying testing for
9:40 am
covid-19 for treatment services with a primary covid-19 diagnosis. and for qualifying covid-19 vaccine administration fees. so notice the qualification language from hhs eligibility for the government's uninsured program requires a primary covid-19 diagnosis. this makes sense. but it also may make things complicated for some. since the cdc calculates to covid death rate to include so-called co-morbidities that is multiple contributing factors to death. it makes sense that people presenting an emergency rooms for inpatient care may have multiple ailments, needing treatment, including covid but if doctors do not consider covid the primary diagnosis for a patient covid treatment for that uninsured is not covered and that may really at unexpected insult to injury. that was brian reporting many health insurance companies are now adding a covid surcharge to group policies.
