On July 29, 2020, Governor Beshear reiterated that an order from a licensed clinician is not necessary for laboratory service providers to perform and bill for FDA-approved COVID-19 diagnostic tests.

Governor Beshear’s announcement was in response to reports that some individuals seeking tests are still being asked to provide a doctor’s order.
