ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- A man was sent to collections for not paying for a COVID-19 test, which are supposed to come at no cost to New Mexicans.
The man, who did not want to reveal his name, said he got a COVID-19 test in May that was provided by the state.
The test was billed to his insurance, but payment did not go through due to an apparent clerical error. The non-payment was then referred to a collection agency, which he received an alert about.
“At first I thought it was likely ID theft,” he said. Pretty crazy because my understanding was, in all circumstances, it’s free to the patient.”

Lorraine Rogge and her husband, Michael, travel the country in a recreational vehicle, a well-earned adventure in retirement. This spring found them parked in Artesia, N.M., for several months.
In May, Rogge, 60, began to feel pelvic pain and cramping. But she had had a total hysterectomy in 2006, so the pain seemed unusual, especially because it lasted for days. She looked for a local gynecologist and found one who took her insurance at the Carlsbad Medical Center in Carlsbad, N.M., about a 20-mile drive from the RV lot.
The doctor asked if Rogge was sexually active, and she responded yes and that she had been married to her husband for 26 years. Rogge felt she made it clear that she is in a monogamous relationship. The doctor then did a gynecological examination and took a vaginal swab sample for laboratory testing.
