COVID-19 Testing in Midtown Manhattan – No Out-of-Pocket Cost

We are pleased to offer COVID-19 Testing to patients in our office conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan, close to all public transportation and only 15-20 min away from Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and New Jersey.  Free or no-out-of-pocket cost COVID-19 testing is available only to patients with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 with commercial insurance plans.  Patients without symptoms of COVID-19 are NOT eligible for no-COST testing.  Patients without symptoms can still get tested by paying a low price of $175 per test.

We have extended office hours for your convenience.

What Do You Need To Know About COVID19 Testing

Two types of COVID-19 testing are available: antigen testing which is performed on the spot with results available within 15-30 minutes. This test is capable of detecting COVID-19 infection more than 80% of the time.  If the test comes back positive, more than 97% of the time, the test is truly positive.  Antigen testing is quick and has good reliability, especially in patients with symptoms of respiratory disease (cough, flu-like symptoms).

PCR-based or RNA-based nucleic acid testing typically takes 1-3 days; while the test takes longer to perform, it has higher reliability especially very early in the disease process when the viral load is low. 

At New York Urology Specialists we offer both antigen testing as well as PCR testing for COVID-19.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Prior to your visit to New York Urology Specialists, we will ask you to fill out a BRIEF COVID19 form about your past medical and surgical history and your symptoms. Our physicians and other healthcare providers will review all your medical information during your visit. You can be confident that all your medical information is kept confidential.

Easy Scheduling – Timely Appointments

When scheduling an appointment, please have referral forms and insurance information available to expedite the process. You can conveniently schedule appointments online or by phone. Medicare and most major insurance plans are accepted. We offer COVID19 Testing for uninsured and self-insured patients.  We routinely see international patients who require COVID19 testing.

We Speak Your Language

In our offices, the staff speaks fluent English, Spanish & Russian languages.  We routinely see patients who speak Spanish with office assistants fully fluent in Spanish. We see patients who speak other languages as well. Please have an adult translator fluent in both English and your native language during the visit. The patient must be comfortable discussing very private issues and answering private questions via a translator. Usually, an unrelated translator is best.  We also have translators available in over 130 languages through a language translation phone service.

Our physicians offer comprehensive evaluation of patients with exposure to COVID19 with pulse oximetry testing.  We offer the most advanced diagnostics and innovative treatment options available in office settings. When you need a hospital-based procedure or test, our affiliation with top NYC hospitals will assure you of the best care you can get.

Cost of COVID 19 Evaluation and Testing Services

There are NO charges that will be billed to patients. According to the CARES Act, all fees for COVID19 testing and evaluation services will be paid by insurance companies with ZERO (NO) out-of-pocket cost to the patient.

Due to increased costs associated with COVID-19 evaluation and testing during the pandemic as well as labor market shortages leading to increased costs to recruiting staff, and general service inflation, our cash fees for COVID19 evaluation and testing reflect the increased cost of doing business in a high-cost geographic area where we provide services. Our fees are competitive with hospital chargemaster charges in Manhattan.  It must be noted that as per federal law, insurances are not allowed to impose copay, deductible, or co-insurance for COVID19 evaluation and testing. Similarly, healthcare providers are not allowed to charge out-of-pocket cash prices listed below to patients with insurance.  In compliance with requirements under section 3202(b) of the CARES Act related to cash price posting, our cash prices as of 1/1/2022 are listed below which are subject to change.

Our cash-price evaluation services for COVID19 visit, evaluation, and management fees vary with the complexity of the problem and range from $325 – $905 for CPT codes 99202-99205
