TIP OF THE MONTH
Adult and pediatric immunizations are NO COST under ICUBA medical plans—this includes the flu vaccine and COVID vaccine.
Keep in mind that while your coinsurance and deductible do not apply, you may be required to pay the usual and customary copay for an office visit to your healthcare provider when receiving vaccines in an office setting.
