The cost of a 4-year-old's measles vaccine left a Texas family with nearly $5,000 in bills

77% Informative
Thang Nguyen took his family to a primary care clinic at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston , Texas .
His 4-year-old son was at risk because he had received only the first of the vaccine’s two doses.
His health plan, purchased from insurance broker TaiAn for his wife and children, does not cover immunizations.
Bill of the Month is a crowdsourced investigation by KFF Health News and The Washington Post’s Well+Being that dissects and explains medical bills.
It's always a good idea to check with your insurer before elective treatments like checkups or vaccinations to find out what is covered and how much you might owe.
For some services, including vaccinations, there may be lower-cost options.
