COVID-19 Vaccines for People with Medicare

What does it cost? You pay nothing for the vaccine!

Where do I get it? COVID-19 vaccines are available at
pharmacies, clinics, doctors’ offices, hospitals, or even in the
home. Find a vaccine near you at www.vaccines.gov.

What do I bring? Bring your red, white, and blue Medicare
card to your appointment, even if you have a Medicare
Advantage Plan. Otherwise, you may be asked for your
Social Security number to verify you’re on Medicare.

Already vaccinated? Boosters are recommended for
most people, and especially for older adults. Speak with your
doctor if you have questions.
Undecided? Older adults are highly at risk from COVID-19. Most
Americans age 65 and older are vaccinated. Learn more about the
vaccine’s effectiveness at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus

Supplemental (Medigap) insurance
Medicare Advantage (MA) options
Evaluate and identify the right Part D Drug plan
Billing and claims procedures
Assist on your behalf with providers
Research Patient Assistant Programs (help with medication costs)
