Impact of medical and/or pharmacy reimbursement on adult vaccination rates.

CONCLUSIONS: Among members with commercial health insurance, HZV and PV rates were significantly higher among those whose insurance covered vaccinations under both medical and pharmacy benefits, compared with members whose insurance covered vaccines under the medical benefit only. Pharmacy-based vaccination coverage from commercial health insurance plans may help improve adult vaccination rates. PMID: 30020746 [PubMed - in process]
