New Yorkers wrongly billed by Northwell-GoHealth for Covid-19 vaccines get full refunds
Hundreds of New Yorkers who were mistakenly charged for COVID-19 vaccines by Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care clinics have received full refunds, totaling nearly $15,000.
The refunds were issued after it was discovered that up to 731 individuals were improperly billed for vaccines that were meant to be free of charge during the pandemic state of emergency.
The issue came to light following complaints from patients who had received and paid for their COVID-19 vaccines at Northwell-GoHealth clinics, contrary to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Provider Agreement which mandated no out-of-pocket cost for the vaccine.
