Immunizations with Medicaid or Equivalent Coverage

I have Buckeye medicaid, and have discovered that only my 2-step Mataoux aka TB tests , and my DPT shot will be covered.

My MMR $55.00, and series of 3 Hep B shot $35 a pop, are not.

So be sure to call your insurance company whatever it is to check coverage beforehand to avoid any nasty surprises.

Be sure to start your HepB series BEFORE July 15th, to be sure you have 2 of the series completed before fall semester starts as suggested by Dr. Stevenson.

thx Kathi

They are fairly affordable at the Health Department. You may also want to get a hold of Kendra at PRC...they would probably pay for your shots as well.
