AG Bird announced today a $4.87 million multistate settlement with GS Labs that resolves claims that the testing company overcharged patients, unlawfully charged administrative fees, and failed to deliver timely COVID-19 test results from 2020 to 2022. $491,654.75 in reimbursement will be available to Iowans, including $430,314.25 for Iowans charged administrative fees, $59,589 for cash-paying Iowans that were overcharged for tests and $1,751.50 for Iowans that did not receive test results within three days.

“Not only did GS Labs profit by taking advantage of Iowans, but they did so during a national health crisis when many were facing serious health challenges. I’m grateful for the work that secured restitution for affected Iowans, and I will continue to protect Iowa consumers from unfair and deceptive practices.”  -AG Bird
