Sonora Quest offers free COVID PCR test without insurance
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Sonora Quest Laboratories has announced that they will collaborate with the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) Increasing Community Access to Testing (ICATT) program to offer free COVID-19 tests.
According to the press release, these free tests are for the uninsured who are either symptomatic, exposed, or at high risk (including immunocompromised or pregnant).
“As COVID-19 continues to spread throughout our communities, the restoration of free COVID PCR testing to uninsured patients is vital to ensure all Arizonans have the answers they need,” said Dave Dexter, President and Chief Executive Officer for Sonora Quest.
Not only is the ICATT program free for the uninsured, those who do have insurance can continue to have access to COVID tests if they're exposed or present any symptoms.
In addition, Sonora Quest has been working with community health care partners since the pandemic began to help at-risk communities receive fair and equitable access to COVID resources, testing, and vaccines.
“Even with COVID out of the headlines, we know that testing continues to be important to determine the best options for treatment and protecting public health,” said Tomas Leon, president of Equality Health Foundation.
“We applaud Sonora Quest’s continued purpose-driven leadership and collaboration in this space for Arizona.”
