Insurance Coverage:
Medicare Part-B:
As always, the influenza vaccination and pneumonia vaccination are available at no-cost for our Medicare patients.
Other Insurance Coverage:
Vaccinations can usually NOT be billed to prescription insurance coverage by a pharmacy. Sometimes, they can be billed to your medical insurance, but you will need to contact your medical insurance provider for details. You will need to pay up front and we will provide a receipt for you to provide to your insurance provider.
