What can happen when I get my vaccines in a pharmacy?

After showing your Insurance ID to the pharmacist:

  • The bill will be sent directly to the insurance company. You have nothing else to worry about.
  • If the pharmacy system shows that the vaccine “is not covered” or the pharmacy is not in-network, please ask the pharmacist to contact the insurance company at 1-866-352-8632 (you can find this number on your Insurance ID). The insurance company will tell the pharmacist how to deal with the bill. You don’t need to pay the bill.
  • If you paid the bill by yourself. Please contact the pharmacy and use Super Bill to file a claim. The pharmacy will refund you directly after the claim is completed.


Can I get my vaccines at the student health center?

Yes. However, sometimes you need to pay for the bill by yourself first and file a claim after your visit. It takes about one month to process the claim. A check will be sent to your address after the claim is processed. For specific instructions on how to file a claim, click here.


If you bring your Insurance ID and get vaccines in our in-network hospitals/pharmacies, you don’t need to pay the bill.
