Vaccine information
Important Message About What You Pay for Vaccines - Our plan covers most Part D vaccines at no cost to you, even if you haven’t paid your deductible. Call Customer Service for more information.
Vaccines Covered By Medicare Part B
Medicare Part B covers four important vaccines as part of its preventive care benefits. All this information is included in your EOC (Evidence of coverage) documents, there is no coinsurance, copayment, or deductible for these vaccines.
Covered vaccines include the following:
- Flu vaccine: once each flu season in the fall and winter, with additional flu shots if medically necessary
- Hepatitis B vaccine: if you are at high or intermediate risk of getting Hepatitis B
- Pneumonia vaccine
- COVID-19 Vaccine
Vaccines Covered By Medicare Part D
Medicare Part D covers all commercially available vaccines needed to prevent illness.
Vaccines covered by Part D include the following:
- Shingles vaccine: One-time vaccine given in two shots over two to six months
- Tdap vaccine : (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis/whooping cough): One shot if you’ve never been vaccinated, and a booster every ten years
Do I Have to Pay For Vaccines with Medicare?
You pay nothing for vaccines covered by Part B – flu, pneumonia, covid-19 and Hepatitis B – as long as your provider accepts Medicare.
Your cost for vaccines covered by Part D will depend on your specific plan and location of administration. You pay a copay if it is administered in the pharmacy. If you do receive it in the doctor’s office you will pay for the whole cost of the vaccine and the administration, you can submit a claim to be reimbursed.
For requests for reimbursement of prescription drugs and/or Part D vaccines, please mail your request for payment together with any bills or paid receipts to us at this address:
