About Medicare COVID Vaccine Billing

About Medicare COVID Vaccine Billing; I have a MEDICARE ADVANTAGE plan. Those are PRIVATE INSURERS that SUBSTITUTE for Medicare. The MA plan pays INSTEAD of Medicare paying. MA PLANS send a CLAIMS MADE / PAID report monthly. MEDICARE, NOT my Plan, sent a Claims Made / Paid report showing a claim from Randalls Food and Drugs, LP in LOS ANGELES for "injection of acute respiratory syndrome [SOMETHING]". -- I didn't pay attention to the "something" part. My reaction was "IDENTITY THEFT!! I'm the ONLY person in the U.S. with my name, I've never been to LA or ANY Randalls. I did NOT get an RSV shot!" When I examined closer I noticed [SOMETHING] was "coronavi". The injection was on the date I got my BOOSTER. It had nothing to do with RSV. I normally go to CVS but I got THAT shot at a Tom Thumb grocery store--which is owned by Randalls. I had given the Tom Thumb pharmacist my MA info but Randalls billed Medicare instead. So--if Medicare sends you a COVID vaccine Claims Paid Report, don't assume identity theft. Reread the Report carefully.
