The whole idea that any coronavirus test is to be paid by insurance at this point in the game is laughable.
What if they have to convert some hospitals to coronavirus only centers, and it's out of network? You spend 2 weeks on a ventilator, then you get a bill for $1 million even though you had insurance. Is this a possible scenario?
ETA: I have no idea how much 2 weeks on a ventilator is, but I would imagine it's very high. Are you stuck with the whole tab?

It sure shouldn't be. IMO, once the state/national emergency is declared, then whatever it's declared for should be covered. To me it would be the same as National guard billing you to be saved from a flood/hurricane. That's covered by fed or at least state money because an emergency was declared. That's the whole purposed of emergency declarations from what I understood.

No blood just a nose swap test.
Young female doctor at Oschner Lakeview Urgent Care prescribed the prednisone. Second visit she also refused to give me a test after multiple people I was with tested positive. My PCP doctors both were furious and directed me to the Canal/Carrollton location.

Does that fall under malpractice or just following the guidelines? And a chest xray that day should have shown pneumonia and I would think been addressed earlier than 3 days after. That's kinda important about now.

Man don’t wait to go to a hospital if you need it. Praying for you

They've done a great job in trying to get you to move around and infect damn near everyone in the area. Knowing the population, I'm sure they have a billion people coming in and demanding testing though so I'm sure there had to be a little bit of skepticism but damn, this needs published if it turns out you have it. If not, then you should buy them a beer or something.
Now stay your arse inside and don't come out.

Look into Walgreens delivery, cvs delivery or shipt. See if you can get something sooner than Sunday. Pedialyte or pedialyte packets (add to water) are less sugar and more electrolytes than Gatorade. Wish I was closer, I’d help you out if I could

Sorry to hear that. The only reason I got lucky with my guess is that the story of "park city community spread" broke the same day as your post.
Funny thing is, there are lots of folks in our general area that are describing the same "symptoms" you did in the beginning. The main one I've been hearing is dry throat and a cough. No real nasal symptoms (for me at least). No fever from anyone I've talked to. (Well my wife has been talking to folks via text) I've have a dry throat/frog in my throat for 3-4 days now with a little bit of "Chest tightness" on the L side. It's weird and like nothing I've ever had. My lungs feel clear and I can easily take deep breaths, but it's almost like a low grade "burning". I've been on a course of prilosec for about a week due to a bout with acid reflux. My wife calls me a hypochondriac, and she's probably right and just allgeries. FWIW, I'm early 50's decent health.
As I said, get well soon.
ETA: the Lol went in the wrong place. Sorry.

How do they actually test for the virus?

We have Blue Cross and our insurance through work announced today if a doctor says you need to be tested, regardless of where you have traveled, it will be covered @ 100%

It was clear malpractice and I'm so fortunate that I am not Mark Frilot who is breathing on a ventilator right now hanging on for his life. There is no difference here in how they treated him and how they treated me.

My family friend PCP said that in his opinion that if I had not been prescribed the prednisone that I probably would be fine today.

This past November I went in feeling like total shite and they gave me a flu test but it came back negative. The only problem was the doc barely swabbed one nostril. Test came back negative
and I told it was an upper respiratory infection and told me to take Flonase and Allegra. Symptoms keep getting worse and went back 4 days later and a different doc gave me another test (throughly swabbing both nostrils) and it came back positive for the flu.
I've made the decision that I am done with them as an urgent care location

When was all of this happening? I was in Park City from the 4th - 8th. Spent most of my time on the mountain and at the pig pen saloon, but did get to main st, the st Regis and a few other restaurants/bars. I had a super dry throat when i got home and have had a cough snd feeling run down since then.

If you’re still posting on the internet it’s not that bad.

Glad to hear it. My post was making fun of 1) Myself and 2) the general paranoia surrounding all of this in the community.

It was clear malpractice
Secondly, easy with the malpractice posits there. It almost certainly was anything but malpractice. That's not a statement to contradict you. It is to help you feel better about the folks looking after you..
The key is treatment.
Is there anything a formal CV-19 diagnosis would change in terms of your treatment?
If not (and I don't see a formal test result changing your treatment course at all), given current test scarcity, testing should be reserved for those instances where diagnosis would actually affect treatment.
Take it FWIW. E.g., FYI, Mrs Frilot sounds distraught over a "missed diagnosis," but it does not appear anything at all would have been done differently in treating Frilot had he been formally diagnosed with Covid-19.
