SENIOR LISTENING

Lisa Baxter, Aging Service Specialist

Medicare Part B covers FDA approved vaccines. The Medicare beneficiary will pay nothing for this vaccine. Have your Medicare card on hand so your provider can bill Medicare. The COVID-19 vaccine helps reduce the risk of illness from COVID-19 by working with the body’s natural defenses to safely develop protection (immunity) to the virus.

• Medicare covers the lab tests for COVID-19. You pay no out-of-pocket costs.
