U-M's Medicare Advantage Plans and Prescription Drug Plan cover approved vaccinations as a preventive benefit. Understanding where they are covered is important due to Medicare rules.
Medicare Advantage health plans cover COVID-19, pneumonia, flu, and hepatitis B vaccinations at your provider's office. All other vaccinations administered at your provider's office are not covered.
The U-M Prescription Drug Plan covers all approved vaccinations, including those listed above, as well as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-recommended travel vaccinations at no-cost when administered at in-network pharmacies.
Please remember to provide your Prime Therapeutics prescription drug plan ID card when receiving vaccinations at a pharmacy.
