COVID-19 vaccines are billed by manufacturer, and each season's formula gets its own code, so the same brand can be listed under several codes in a hospital's file. Giving the shot is billed separately from the dose. Who can get the vaccine and whether insurance pays for it have changed from one season to the next, so check the CDC's current schedule before you book.

Paying cash: what to do
- Ask which manufacturer's vaccine the price is for and whether the injection fee (90471) is included.
- Check the pharmacy chains and your health department first: they usually have the vaccine in stock and post a cash price.
- If you are 65 or older, Medicare Part B pays for the vaccine; if you have no coverage, ask the clinic about assistance programs before paying the cash price.
