No, this is a loss leader / community benefit these corporations participate in. They'll attempt to be reimbursed through insurance, but also offer it to the uninsured.
- mrguyorama 1y agoIt's not a loss leader, it's literally revenue positive to pay for everyone to get a vaccine from the insurance company's perspective! One guy needing intensive care pays for a whole bunch of vaccines.
- loeg 1y agoFor the insured, sure. For the uninsured, I think it's done as a loss leader / community benefit by the store/pharmacy.

Eligibility varies by patient and insurance plan. Eligible patients will not pay any copayments unless otherwise required by their plan, including Medicare Part B. Availability varies by state based on regulations... That doesn't sound like it's free if you're uninsured. Or at least that don't advertise that.
