I got my Covid shot in March and just got a bill
I thought the vaccine was not our liability to pay. Am I mistaken?

It's suppose to be free for all. Maybe there was a processing error? Give your insurance company a call, I'm sure they'll clear it up

I saw this:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says if you receive a bill for your COVID vaccine, do not pay it. And if your medical facility does not relieve you of the bill, they want you to report it.
From HHS:
What to do if you receive a bill?
Contact your health care provider. Providers who participate in and are reimbursed from the HRSA COVID-19 Uninsured Program for qualified COVID-19 related services rendered to you are not allowed to "balance bill," which means you should not receive a bill.
If the provider did not submit a bill for your COVID-19-related testing, and/or treatment to the HRSA COVID-19 Uninsured Program, or the care was not eligible for reimbursement from the program, you may be responsible for full payment of the bill.
Regardless of your insurance status, providers cannot charge you for the COVID-19 vaccine or administration of the COVID-19 vaccine. If you experience or witness any potential violations of this requirement you can report the matter to the Office of the Inspector General, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, by calling 1-800-HHS-TIPS or the website TIPS.HHS.GOV.

My insurance was charged as well but I didn't need to pay a copay.
