Important Reminder: For 100% COVERAGE Of Flu Shot Cost, Use SavRx Benefit

Posted on by

 

It’s well into that time of year – when there are signs everywhere encouraging you to get your flu shot. Don’t forget that coverage for your flu shot was changed this year, and now the cost of your flu vaccine is covered 100% if the claim is filed through your prescription benefit provider, SaveRx.

This change went into effect on September 1, 2019 and our health & welfare benefits administrator, Maryland Electrical Industry Funds, sent the notification letter below to all participants in mid-August.

 

It is important to note that if the flu shot is given to you at your physician’s office and the flu vaccine is not purchased through SaveRx, the claim will be processed under your major medical coverage and you will be responsible for part of the cost, as specified in the notification letter.

 

 

Your Flu Shot Is Covered – Protect Your Health!

Your good health is precious to you, and to all the people who depend on you, too!

Local 24 wants to make sure you know that flu shots are covered by our insurance plans.

In fact, the shots are covered in 2 different ways, so you and your family have the most flexibility in how and where you get vaccinated against the flu.

 

Flu Vaccination Options

Get your flu shot at your doctor’s office. The doctor will submit a claim to our health insurance (CareFirst BC/BS) and provided your yearly deductible has been met, insurance will pay 80% of the cost of the shot and you will be responsible for paying the remaining 20%.

OR

Get your flu shot at your local pharmacy. The pharmacy will submit a claim to our prescription insurance (SavRX). Your out-of-pocket cost for the vaccine will be $15 or 25% of the cost, whichever is greater.
