Empire City Laboratories,
Thank you for the crucial role you’ve played in testing uninsured individuals in your communities. You are receiving this email because you have been identified as an organization participating in the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) COVID-19 Uninsured Program. Below is an important update regarding claims submissions. On March 22, 2022 at 11:59 pm ET, the HRSA COVID-19 Uninsured Program will stop accepting claims for testing due to a lack of sufficient funds.
Please not that Empire City Laboratories has contracted with UDoTest Inc, an independent physician network, that provides oversight and review for Covid-19 tests ordered. A payment of $5 is provided to UDoTest for this service. This order is dependent upon the review of the physician network including the answers to the survey questions.
