WASHINGTON – Congressman Troy Balderson (R-OH) today sent a letter to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar requesting guidance to state and local governments, hospitals and care providers, and health insurance providers on reimbursement for testing, health screenings, treatments, and prevention measures related to the coronavirus (COVID-19).
