Insurance
To schedule an appointment, contact your primary care provider or the COVID-19 clinic at 518-897-2462. There is no cost to the individual being tested, but Adirondack Health will collect each person’s health insurance information, if they have insurance, and bill insurance companies. Insurance companies, in turn, are prohibited by New York state from charging co-pays or deductibles for COVID-19 testing. Individuals without health insurance will still be tested free of charge.
Adirondack Health’s expanded testing efforts will continue for the foreseeable future, subject to the continued availability of COVID-19 test kits. For the most up-to-date information regarding Adirondack Health testing availability, visit adirondackhealth.org/covid-testing.
