Am I being overcharged? (Vaccinations)!
Question: Am I being overcharged!? (Vaccinations)
I had to get a few shots updated before I went to college!. Here's the breakdown of the billing I have:
Hepatitis B Vaccine - $55
Injection - $25
Tuberculosis Test - $20
Tetanus Shot - $30
Injection - $20
Total: $155
I got a bill in the mail saying I had a $40 balance on my account because they "forgot to include" something when they told me the original price!. So, whatever, I paid the $40!.
I went back today to get the second round of the Hep B shot, and they said, "It'll be $80"!. Apparently, $40 for the shot and $40 for the injection, she said!.
Do you think when I go back to get the third and final round of Hep B, they'll charge me another $80!? I didn't think any shot would be that expensive!.!.!.
Are those the normal prices for the shots I listed!? I'm feeling a little strange because I went to the urgent care center instead of my normal doctor because I was told it would be cheaper!.!.!. Now I'm thinking otherwise!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Actually that is in line with what I've seen in my area!. You could have gone to a clinic that provides vaccinations for kids but they would have charged you!. But the charge would have been a fraction of what you paid!. I am assuming you are in the U!.S!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
