Seasonal Flu Vaccine
WKU Health Services has the adult and pediatric injectable form of the seasonal flu vaccine. We are administering the vaccine on a walk-in basis. The vaccine is available to faculty, staff, students and their dependents. It is recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) that everyone 6 months and older receive annual flu vaccination.
Insurance Information
The flu vaccine is covered fully by the WKU Anthem BCBS plan and you will not be charged a co-pay. If you have insurance other than WKU Anthem BCBS, we can bill your insurance, but we cannot guarantee it will be covered. After the claim has processed, you may be subject to paying a co-insurance, deductible or co-pay amount depending on your individual plan. Currently we are unable to accept or bill Medicare or any state Medicaid insurance plan. Please bring an I.D. and your insurance card if you want us to bill your insurance. Please contact your insurance company for details about your plan and coverage.
Retirees
We do not participate with Medicare and are unable to bill them directly. If you have the Humana KTRS plan (Group # Q0725 or R0380), we are able to bill this plan directly. Patientson this plan have a $150 deductible, once the deductible is met, the flu shot is covered at 96%. A coinsurance of 4% will be billed to the patient after the claim has processed, unless the patient has already met their maximum out of pocket of $1200. You can pay cash if you choose to not bill insurance.
