Maximum RT-PCR Tariff: No Additional Charges Permitted for Early Test Results

The Minister of Health recently issued Circular No. HK.02.02/I/4198/2021 on the Implementation of the Maximum Tariff for Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") Tests ("Circular 4198"). This circular should now be referred to in relation to the implementation of the previously issued Circular No. HK.02.02/I/3843/2021 on the Maximum Tariff for Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction ("RT-PCR") Tests ("Circular 3843").
Circular 4198 now states that the maximum tariff for RT-PCR tests only applies to individuals who personally or individually request such tests and does not apply in relation to any contact tracing or referrals of COVID-19 cases. Furthermore, the new circular also states that the results of all RT-PCR tests must be issued within 1 x 24 hours of the relevant sample being taken. Any test results that are issued prior to this 24-hour deadline will be defined as high healthcare service quality hence no additional charges in excess of the maximum tariff may be charged.
