Most insurance companies have stopped offering COVID-19 relief – but there’s a chance some could offer help again.

New Mexico Insurance Office: Vaccinations Must Be Free
OSI News:
SANTA FE – The New Mexico Office of Superintendent of Insurance (OSI) has directed all health insurers operating in the state to cover COVID-19 vaccinations and related services at no cost to a patient.
“Costs must not be a barrier to getting a COVID-19 vaccine,” Superintendent Russell Toal said. “Having a number of safe and effective vaccines available marks a turning point in the fight against this deadly virus – but a vaccine is only effective if people can afford to get vaccinated.”
Every major medical plan must cover any costs associated with the administration of a COVID-19 vaccine for every covered New Mexican. Patient cost sharing – coinsurance, copayments and deductibles – cannot be applied, regardless of whether or not the provider administering the vaccine is in a health plan’s network.
