Is it legal for my in-network doctor to balance bill me?

I got an itemized statement from my doctor’s office. They bill $32 for each allergy shot. Insurance covers about $6 and they are balance billing me for the rest of it.

My doctor is in network. Is that even legal? I thought the whole point to having in network providers is that they agree to accept the contracted amount the insurance company pays and not balance bill the patient.
