The coverage of the Seasonal COVID vaccine is now in the private sector.  As of 10/19, we can confirm coverage from these insurance companies:

Aetna, Anthem/Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, CDPHP, HighmarkNYS, Empire Plan (NYSHIP), United Healthcare, MVP, & CIGNA.

As of 10/31/23 we are still waiting on coverage decisions from Tricare.  If your insurance makes a decision to not cover the vaccine (we feel this is highly unlikely), you would be eligible to get the vaccine through the government program called VFC (Vaccine for Children).  Please note – if your insurance decides to put this into a deductible – that is not eligible for VFC.  This is more likely with an employer sponsored self insured plan.

Finally, there is no charge to you for the vaccine. We do bill your insurance company for the administration. This charge is regulated and has no cost share to you. If you are a parent or grandparent, please fill out the following Insurance Information to capture your insurance. Thank you .
