SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- During the height of the pandemic, many Bay Area school children took part in what families say was advertised as free COVID-19 testing at schools covered by the CARES Act. But now three years later, some families say they're still receiving bills from the lab that conducted the tests. That lab is now suing health insurance companies for reimbursements they say they're owed.
