[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school has tested PCR weekly with 25 hour results for nearly 2 years and our cost was $0. It was covered by insurance. They worked with a company that did it on campus and billed direct to our insurance with the proper codes . I would not be ok with 1500 expense! [/quote]
OP here. To be clear, the $1500 isn't for on campus testing. The weekly on campus testing at our Big-3 is included in our tuition. This is for testing because your kid has a cough or runny nose and can't come to school because those are considered COVID symptoms. So, we have to get DS tested off campus, with a PCR test, in order for him to return to school. If we did the DC free PCR test, it takes about 4 days for results to come back. So, if we want DS to return to school as quickly as possible, i.e., the next day, we have to get a rapid PCR test. We usually go to Same Day Georgetown and pay between $175 and $225 for the 1-2 hour results. It's annoying. [/quote]

Keep your sick kid home.  No one wants your cold. [/quote]
