Wiki Covid Specimen collection-cash only?

[sbeauregard]

I have a pediatrician located in Texas who would like to bill patients directly for the specimen collection only for a covid test. No billing would be sent to insurances. All specimens will be sent to an outside lab. Are there any restrictions on this? Can they bill Medicaid patients as well?

For future reference, best practice is to post only once.
