LD 917 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act Regarding Charges To Uninsured Patients For Covid-19 Vaccines

LD 917 repeals a law that prohibited healthcare providers from charging uninsured patients for administering a COVID-19 vaccine. This change allows providers to bill uninsured patients for vaccine administration services, meaning these patients may now face costs for getting vaccinated. The bill directly affects uninsured patients (who may now be charged) and healthcare providers (who can now collect fees for administration). The repeal specifically targets the administration fee, not the vaccine itself, and removes a prior restriction on such charges.
