Does the US health insurance company cover COVID-19 patients?

Some health insurance companies say they will cover testing and treatment, but the situation remains unclear.

Alone among developed countries, the United States health care system is not universal but is run by a non-profit health insurance company.

A former health insurance executive turned into a whistle-blower said the industry hopes to do well during coronavirus.

While several companies in the US said they would cover COVID-19 testing and treatment, there was still a lot of confusion about who would eventually cover the bill.
