Question: If I'm covered by Health Insurance, will I be charged for Vaccinations!?
What I know about the U!.S!. Health Care system could fit into a thimble!. When my son was born I was living abroad so I pretty much only have experience with private medicine!. I have Insurance under United Health Care and I took my son to a pediatrician yesterday!. The Co-Pay is only $20!.00 and nothing was precribed or anything like that!. But they did give my boy a few shots that he was missing (Chicken Pox, Hepatitis A and another!.!.)!. I told them to go ahead and send me the bill which I expect to amount only to $20!.00 (for the Co-Pay)!. Am I wrong!? Am I looking at more $ for the shots they gave him!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

no, childhood immunizations are covered by most health insurers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
All good insurance will cover "routine" medical care, which includes all vaccinations except for flu shots!. Those only get covered for those chronically ill, old, or at risk (like you work in a hospital or day care center) So you should just pay your $20 and thats it!. Usually co-pays are paid when you go to the doctors office, not later, however!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
