I'm not sure how it works in every state, but in mine rabies testing is covered by the state but kind of requires a doctor visit, (and the animal to be tested) to get the ball rolling. I think you could also go straight to the sheriff. All of that to say i went to the ER for a minor bat bite, and to make my PSA statement that if there is even a sliver of possibility that rabies is possible, don't ever assume that a minor animal bite is no big deal.
Got bit fishing a mouse out of the trash can at our wedding. When I sobered up the next morning I was seriously sweating about rabies.
Turns out mice don't carry it, or at least have never infected a human. Plus, despite all the woods around here, rabies is very rare in this county.
It is rare, but not something to completely ignore as a possibility
