COVID-19 medical bills are expected to increase next year. During the height of the pandemic, insurers waived the costs of certain COVID-19-related services, such as emergency room (ER) copayments, hospital stay deductibles, and testing charges.
As the pandemic eases, those previously waived costs are returning. Many insurers are now treating COVID-19 much like other diseases, meaning they no longer provide special exceptions for COVID-19-related services.
This article briefly explains why this pricing change matters to you and what you can do to protect your health budget.
