The multi-state healthcare provider, target of a 3-day strike by 75,000 workers this week, said it does not cover out of network vaccinations except in California, where by law members can get reimbursed for COVID-19 vaccines from non-Kaiser providers including retail pharmacies until Nov. 11.
"We are working diligently to turn COVID-19 inventory as quickly as it is received and are growing our fulfillment of orders daily," a spokesperson said.After widespread reports of payment refusals early in the campaign, health insurance executives met with government officials on Sept. 27 and said plans are reimbursing vaccines given by in-network providers.

Some people told Reuters their insurer instructed them to pay upfront and seek reimbursement if their pharmacies asked for payment.
