Avoid Disease—and Copays—With These Vaccines
Vaccines are powerful weapons that can protect us from serious illnesses.
Your SCAN plan includes coverage of all vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). And starting this year, our plan covers most Part D vaccines at no cost to you! This includes all preventive vaccines for adults that should be on your list, like Shingrix to prevent shingles and its complications. Call SCAN Member Services for more information about this coverage.
Depending on your individual health, your doctor or pharmacist may recommend additional vaccines or advise that you not get certain vaccinations due to health concerns. Bottom line, it’s always best to talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Where to Go
You can get your covered vaccines from your doctor or at a local pharmacy. If a shot is all you need, a visit to your neighborhood pharmacy may be the better choice. You won’t be charged a copay at the pharmacy for most vaccines covered on the SCAN Formulary. But at your doctor’s office you may have to pay and then file a claim to be reimbursed. Avoid the paperwork and head to the pharmacy!
