What if I received a bill from my provider for the COVID-19 vaccine?

If other services are performed along with the administration of the vaccine, it may be billed as an office visit. Seek clarification from your provider beforehand and from your insurance company if you are charged an office visit fee. 

If this doesn’t address the issue, you can also file a complaint with the Office of the Insurance Commissioner here.If you do not have health insurance, remember that providers are not allowed to charge you for the vaccine and therefore may be violating the requirements of the COVID-19 vaccine program.
