Preventative well care visits are crucial for the health and proper development of your child. However, some insurance plans do not cover preventative well care services or they have a benefit cap maximum which limits how much they will pay per year. The federally-funded Vaccine for Children (VFC) program supplies vaccines at a significantly reduced cost for those patients with capped insurance, insurance that doesn’t cover vaccines at all or insurance that only covers certain vaccines. These vaccines are available and can be provided to the patient at the time of their visit.
Please note: Patients with deductibles on immunizations do not qualify for federally-funded vaccines. The state of Pennsylvania provides VFC for those patients who are on Medicaid or who are self-pay. A $20 administrative fee is required prior to the visit.
