Patients of COVID-19 testing company CareCube are suing the medical clinic, claiming it illegally billed them for tests and for services they said they never received.
In a class-action lawsuit, plaintiffs Sabine Schumacher and Linda Cunningham accuse CareCube, which has multiple locations across New York City, of exploiting the pandemic "by unlawfully overcharging New Yorkers for COVID-19 tests." CareCube falsely advertised that the tests would be covered by their insurers as required by federal law, the complaint alleges.
"They operated on the general background people have had over the past couple of years that COVID testing is provided free of charge," attorney Ethan Roman of law firm Wittels McInturff Palikovic, which is representing Schumacher and Cunningham, told CBS MoneyWatch.
