WE CAN NOW BILL INSURANCE FOR VACCINES
posted on 2018-01-29 by Donna Faber The Switzerland Co Health Department can now bill insurance for adult and children vaccines. Come see us for your child's school vaccines! We can accept most insurances. Call or bring in your card and we can run the insurance to see if you are covered. You should call your insurance company to see what vaccines they cover and if there is a copay. Adults need to keep their vaccinations up to date also, the same as children because immunity from childhood vaccines can wear off over time. You are also at risk for different diseases as an adult. Vaccination is one of the most convenient and safest preventive care measures available. All adults need a flu vaccine every year. You may need other vaccines based on your age, health conditions, job, lifestyle, or travel habits. Learn more about what other vaccines may be recommended for you and talk to your healthcare professional about which vaccines are right for you. We still have the VFC (Vaccines for Children) through the Indiana State Dept of Health for ages birth to 18 years of age for those without insurance, on Medicaid or insurance does not cover vaccines. We also have the adult program through the Indiana State Dept of Health for those who do not have health insurance. HEPATITIS C and HIV TESTING
posted on 2017-09-13 by Donna Faber The Health Department is now doing free Hepatitis C and HIV testing on a walk-in or call-in basis. Please call us at 812-427-3220 for more details. All information is confidential. FLU SHOTS
posted on 2017-09-13 by Donna Faber Stop in and get your flu shot Monday - Wed or Fri between the hours of 8:00-10:30 or noon-3:30. We are accepting insurance this year so be sure to bring your card. Most insurances are in-network and Medicare is accepted. If you are uninsured, adults and children, we have you covered through vaccines owned by the state of Indiana. We can also vaccinate children on Medicaid through the age of 18. At this time we cannot vaccinate adults on Medicaid. Getting an annual flu vaccine is the first and best way to protect yourself and your family from the flu. Flu vaccination can reduce flu illnesses, doctors’ visits, and missed work and school due to flu, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations. The more people who get vaccinated, the more people will be protected from flu, including older people, very young children, pregnant women and people with certain health conditions who are more vulnerable to serious flu complications.
