Are We Facing a Future Where Life Only Goes \u201cBack to Normal\u201d for Rich People?<\/a><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

As jobs and businesses vanish, and prices go up, Americans could soon face another expense \u2013 the expense of proving that they\u2019re \u201chealthy.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the government tells us that the Covid vaccinations are going to be \u201cfree,\u201d are they really? Let\u2019s take a look.<\/p>\n

How much will it actually cost to get vaccinated against Covid?<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the government is paying for the vaccine itself, it will still cost money for most people to get injected with it.<\/p>\n

However, providers will be able to bill you an administrative fee for giving the shot to patients, according to the\u00a0Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
This would be similar to paying a charge when you visit the doctor\u2019s office, or for specialized vaccine delivery, such as infusion, a process in which a substance \u2014 like medication, a chemotherapy drug or hydration \u2014 enters the bloodstream intravenously.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you don\u2019t have insurance<\/a><\/span>, the medical provider you used should be reimbursed for any COVID-19 treatment you receive through the\u00a0CARES Act Provider Relief Fund<\/a>, at no cost to you.<\/p>\n

\u2026If you receive a bill for administration fees, it\u2019s still unclear whether or not those will be covered in full. It\u2019s a good idea to contact your local provider or health insurance company for more details on whether you\u2019ll be charged additional fees before receiving a vaccine. It might be that you have more than one option for immunization, including finding a medical provider that would give you the vaccine free of charge, or offer a more straightforward approach to reimbursement if you\u2019re charged.

So it\u2019s kind of free, sort of, unless somebody charges you but then you might be able to get your money back. Multiply by your number of family members.<\/p>\n

And what about all the apps for proving you\u2019ve gotten vaccinated? Will that be government-funded or will people pay a few bucks to the app store to download it onto their smartphones? What about people who don\u2019t have phones? What about those who can no longer afford phone service?<\/p>\n
