$130,000,000 divided by 541,000 “free” tests = $240 / “free” test. Thank you for putting that information in the article, so we can keep tabs on the government spending. Presumably, the federal government chipped in (or the State used stimulus money to pay).
“Adding to the crunch, the state in June closed dozens of testing sites operated by an outside vendor, OptumServe, a division of health care insurance giant UnitedHealth Group. The company had provided more than 541,000 free tests in Indiana since May 2020. At its peak, the company had set up testing sites in 53 Indiana counties.
State health officials said in a press release in June they felt comfortable closing the OptumServe sites “now that a robust community-led testing network is in place, including pharmacies, providers, clinics and local health departments.”
Another reason to end the contract: high cost. Indiana paid OptumServe more than $130 million to conduct the tests.”
Sounds like Matt waited to the last minute to get tested. One has to be tested with 7 days before traveling.
On Monday, I was able to make appointments for Wednesday for the rapid test at Walgreen’s (NAAT). It wasn’t the closest location, but was still only 20 minutes away. When I made the appointments, there were several slots available. It was free to us and we had the results within an hour. Test was required, but we are flying this weekend and wanted to ensure that we mitigated the risk to others.
I understand that smaller communities may not have the availability but in Indianapolis it was no problem.
