Quick question: Got the fourth Covid shot. Is it free like the others?

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

Got a call from Drugmart wanting insurance info. They didn't ask on the other shots.

1. All of mine were. Got it thru city and processed same as others.

Now that was the beginning of May on west coast.

2. It's free

I've had to put my insurance in for both my boosters - one at Publix, other at CVS.

3. I've always been asked about insurance

but it’s never been turned over to the insurance company AFAIK.

12. It's An Odd Situation

I've never been asked for my insurance information, and i got 4 shots at 3 different places. (First 2 were at mass vax site in next county over.)
I've read many folks here having to provide insurance info, but neither my wife nor i ever had to.
That it's different for different people seems weird to me.

4. I got mine at the VA for free

But my son said they sent him a bill for $26.00. He called and complained and they took the charge off.

7. It's free, though I think there is an agreement between the Ins cos and gov't...

to manage payments. But the patient shouldn't have to pay anything out of pocket.

I've had two booster shots and Ins didn't come up where I went. Looks like it varies by which pharmacy you go to.

8. They may bill the insurance company for administering the shot

9. My husband and I received the 4th booster in May

We've gone to the ACME pharmacy for the boosters. And yes, they had our Medicare #'s for insurance purposes. But no charge to us.

As for the other original shots? We were in TN and received shots at the county health center. They also had our Medicare #'s.
