The plan covers immunizations listed on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) applicable immunization schedule (children, adolescents, adults) for U.S. residents. For a list of immunizations covered as preventive, visit the CDC website at cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/index.html or contact UMP Customer Service. Some covered immunizations are classified as “may be recommended” by the CDC depending on medical condition or lifestyle. For those immunizations to be covered as preventive, you must meet the criteria specified on the CDC schedule. Immunizations covered under the preventive rate are not subject to either your medical or your prescription drug deductibles. Covered immunizations given by the providers listed under the “Where to get immunizations” section below are paid under the preventive care benefit. If you see an out-of- network provider for covered preventive immunizations, you pay 40 percent of the allowed amount and the provider may balance bill you. Flu shots and COVID-19 vaccines are paid at 100 percent regardless of the provider’s network status. TIP: The plan covers flu shots and COVID-19 vaccines listed on the applicable CDC immunization schedule. For a list of immunizations covered as preventive, find a link to the CDC immunization schedules at the CDC website at cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/index.html or contact UMP Customer Service.
