Be Aware of Scams When Getting Vaccination
If anyone asks you to pay for access to a COVID-19 vaccine, you can bet it’s a scam. Don’t share your personal or financial information if someone calls, texts, or emails you promising access to a vaccine for an extra fee.
COVID-19 vaccination providers cannot: Charge you for a vaccine Charge you directly for any administration fees, copays, or coinsurance Deny vaccination to anyone who does not have health insurance coverage, is underinsured, or is out of network Charge an office visit or other fee to the recipient if the only service provided is a COVID-19 vaccination Require additional services in order for a person to receive a COVID-19 vaccine; however, additional healthcare services can be provided at the same time and billed as appropriate Area Statistics
