A lot of testing places will provide free tests to people with no health care insurance, according to the Massachusetts COVID-19 online resource center. Some testing places require an appointment, though; it is best to call ahead if a person is planning to get tested.
Depending on the kind of test a person gets - SARS Antigen, PCR, anti-body - makes a difference as to whether a health care insurance provider will cover the cost or not. It also matters if the person being tested is asymptomatic. MassHealth and most health insurance providers will cover a test with a referral from a medical professional.
At a clinic, the average charge for a coronavirus test, without any health insurance coverage, appears to be $50-$150 in Worcester, Hampden, and Hampshire counties.
