What is RSV?
RSV is a highly contagious virus that can lead to pneumonia or bronchiolitis and worsen other chronic conditions, such as asthma and COPD. Severe cases can result in hospitalization and even be life-threatening.
Medicare Coverage
The FDA recently approved the RSV vaccines for adults 60 and older to help protect against contracting the virus. CMS has confirmed that RSV vaccines should be available free of charge to people with Medicare Part D. Those without Part D coverage may pay between $180 and $295 out-of-pocket for the vaccine.
Conclusion
Medicare beneficiaries will have access to the RSV vaccine through their Medicare Part D coverage. Talk with your doctor to determine if an RSV vaccine is recommended. To get help finding a Medicare Part D plan, chat with one of our Medicare experts by scheduling an appointment at fairsquaremedicare.com
