“When I got the email, I was like, ‘Is this a scam?” says Paige Perry, an Astoria resident who said she received a $300 bill from CityMD last month. “I didn't know for sure if it was actually from CityMD because I hadn't been in forever.” Read more:
It’s unclear how many people are affected by the charges, but CityMD has become ubiquitous in the New York City area, with more than 135 locations across the five boroughs and Long Island as well as in Westchester and Rockland counties and New Jersey.

Independence did not respond to inquiries from Gothamist about why it didn’t also pay the office visit fee charged by CityMD. Then, on June 23, CityMD said it started releasing COVID bills “based on feedback we received from insurance plans.”
He added that there has been some confusion among health care providers and insurers over compliance with the federal rules around COVID testing coverage. After Gothamist reached out to Independence, Perry said another representative got in touch with her and told her they would handle it.
