CARES Act Requires Providers of COVID-19 Testing to Post Test Rates on Their Website

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) became law on March 27, 2020.  One provision that has not received much coverage is the requirement for providers of COVID-19 diagnostic testing to publish the cash price for the test on their website.  The requirement appears to last for the duration of the emergency declaration.  The requirement also applies to any “provider of diagnostic testing” for the COVID-19 virus and is not limited to clinical laboratories.  Test providers who do not publish the cash price for their testing can be subject to imposition of civil monetary penalties of up to $300 per day.
