Take advantage of your Medicare plan and get your $0 Flu shot. This is all part of the Affordable Care Act’s $0 preventive care for all people enrolled in a qualified health plan, and guess what…Medicare is a qualified health plan.
Why Should Seniors 65 & Over Get a Flu Shot
As we age our immune systems can become more susceptible to viruses. According to the Centers for Disease and Prevention, “about 90% of influenza associated deaths occur among adults 65 years and older.” So why take a chance? Medicare is stressing that seniors should get their flu shots as early as possible.
Does Medicare Insurance Cover Flu Shots?
Well, with Medigap, you don’t need to worry since you are still covered by Medicare. And with Medicare Advantage, these plans must cover the basic benefits that Medicare covers. So you are totally covered if you have an arm of Medicare.
