When I get a COVID-19 vaccination, what information should I share?
All preventive vaccines, including COVID-19, are covered at cost. In other words, your vaccine bypasses the deductible, and you will have no other cost.
How it works:
- Get your COVID-19 vaccine or booster.
- Pay for care on the spot using your Sidecar Health VISA benefit card.
- Getting your shot at a pharmacy? If your pharmacist asks for your insurance card, let them know you have Sidecar Health insurance but you will be paying for the vaccine directly with your Sidecar Health VISA benefit card. You can ask your pharmacist to apply any discount coupons from ScriptSave or GoodRx like you would when filling an Rx.
- Upload your itemized medical invoice to the member portal within 90 days. The portion of the bill related to your vaccine(s) and vaccine admin fees will be covered at cost.
When asked for your insurance information, you can say the following:
"I have Sidecar Health major medical insurance but it works differently than other traditional insurance. I’ll pay you directly in full. You can treat me like a self-pay patient and provide me with an itemized medical invoice. Then I’ll work with my insurance company on the back-end so you don’t have to."
You can get your vaccine at any licensed medical provider or pharmacy that accepts VISA.
