If you are covered by Medicare, is your shot free?
If you are covered by Medicare Part B, there is no cost to you for the shot. Sutter VNA & Hospice will bill Medicare for payment. We will verify coverage by checking the red, white and blue Medicare Part B card at the time of the shot.
Are Medicare HMOs the same as Medicare Part B?
No. If you are covered by a Medicare HMO, such as Pacificare, Medicare Advantage, Kaiser, SecureHorizons, Healthnet Seniority Plus, CHAMPUS, etc., you need to pay for your shot at the clinic or see your own health care provider for a shot.
Qualified health professionals will administer all vaccinations. There is no pre-sign up so just show up at one of the clinics.
Consider walking to get your flu shots if at all possible to reduce traffic and parking congestion. For additional questions contact:
