OGB’s PPO, EPO, HMO and Medical Home HMO health plans now cover flu vaccinations administered at pharmacies. Effective September 30, 2009, immunization shots for influenza (both H1N1 and standard strains) administered at pharmacies are covered benefits under OGB’s PPO, EPO (UnitedHealthcare), HMO (Humana) and Medical Home HMO (Vantage) health
plans, subject to co-payments and deductibles.
If a member elects to get this immunization at a pharmacy, the following steps should be taken to receive reimbursement:
- Pay for the immunization at the pharmacy and get a receipt (not a cash register receipt) indicating you have paid. The receipt should list the date, the cost, the vaccine name, the name of the person who received the shot and the provider who administered it. At this time, do not use the OGB health care flexible spending account (FSA) card to pay for the vaccine.
- Go to the OGB website (www.groupbenefits.org) and click on the link for the Health Plans page, which has links to all OGB plans.
- Select the link for the plan in which you are enrolled—the PPO, EPO, HMO or Medical Home HMO plan.
- Access the web page for your health plan, where you will find vaccine claim forms and instructions.
- Download and fill out the claim form.
- Attach the receipt for the immunization and send the form and receipt to your health plan at the address listed on the form.
Claims will be processed by each OGB health plan, subject to the appropriate copayment and deductible. If your plan has an annual deductible and you have not yet met that deductible, this claim will be applied to the deductible. If your plan has no
deductible but has a co-payment, the co-payment will be subtracted and you will be reimbursed the appropriate percentage of the claim. OGB plan members can find instructions on how to submit claims and receipts for flu vaccinations administered by pharmacies by visiting the OGB website (www.groupbenefits.org), clicking on the link to the Health Plans web page and clicking on the link for the health plan in which they are enrolled.
