When will your Covid test be paid by the Scheme?

It is necessary to talk to your doctor for proper screening to be done before you go for the test. Your doctor will advise whether you need the PCR Covid test done. It is also important to let the laboratory know that you suspect a Covid diagnosis or had exposure to someone that tested positive before going for the test. Once you present the pathology request form completed by the doctor, the claim will be paid by the Scheme. If you do not have a referral, the claim will be rejected and for your own cost.
