COVID-19 Care is Still Covered: Independence Blue Cross
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Independence Blue Cross (Independence) has been helping members receive the care they need. Independence knows that COVID-19 vaccines are important tools that help reduce the risk of disease, hospitalization, and death, and for that reason, they cover COVID-19 vaccines and boosters at no cost from in-network providers or pharmacies. If a vaccine or booster is obtained from an out-of-network provider, standard cost-sharing applies based on your health insurance plan.
How to get reimbursed for the COVID vaccine:
If you received the COVID-19 vaccine at the pharmacy and paid out of pocket for it, you can use the Prescription Reimbursement Request Form to submit for a reimbursement.
Talk to your doctor about vaccines that are right for you.
