Flu and H1N1 shot
Everyone is talking about the flu vaccine and the H1N1 vaccine. What does this mean to you and the amount you need to pay out of your pocket?
Most plans offer vaccination coverage as a routine covered service. Generally, you would have a co-pay for the visit and that would be it. If you have a health insurance plan that requires you to pay a coinsurance amount you might be responsible for a little more. The vaccinations cost less than $30 normally for each. If you call your health care provider to check on the costs for your flu vaccine and they tell you more than $30, do yourself a favor and go to a clinic. CVS’s and Target’s mini-clinics are offering to give patients flu shots for about $30. Nighttime Pediatrics also will administer flu shots to those who have no other means of getting it for $25.
Some employers offer to administer flu shots to their employees at no costs. This is another way you can not be burden with the costs and still take care of yourself.
United Healthcare members within Maryland will see that the health plan has made a generous offer. They plan to cover the costs of the H1N1 flu shot for every member in the Maryland area regardless if it is not normally covered under the type of health plan they have with them.
