COVID-19 VACCINATION INFORMATION

Local department of health mass vaccination sites and pharmacies are the preferred choice to receive your COVID-19 vaccine. When you are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, follow your employer’s vaccine site recommendation, visit the DHS vaccine scheduling website (https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/covid-19/vaccine-registry.htm), or go to vaccinefinder.org to see the number of vaccines available at a nearby pharmacy.


Vaccine Distribution and Cost
The Department of Health Services (DHS) has announced all individuals ages 5 and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.

The COVID-19 vaccine is free and available at no cost to you. You can receive the vaccine at any mass distribution site, pharmacy or your doctor’s office.

 

Cost Sharing and COVID-19 Testing

We encourage members to receive a COVID-19 test at any mass testing site, select pharmacies offering testing, doctor's office, or other testing locations. We are committed to providing all members the support and coverage they need relating to the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19. WEA Trust will waive cost sharing, including co-pays, coinsurance and deductibles, for the COVID-19 test. In addition, will not require pre-authorization for the COVID-19 test. If you are unsure if you need a COVID-19 test, try using a Virtual Visit first to receive an opinion from a provider.

This means that having a Medical/Urgent Care Virtual Visit will be $0 for all WEA Trust members, including those on our State Health plans and WEA-MedPlus plan.

Frequently Asked Questions


Where can I go for the vaccine and where can I sign up?
Local department of health mass vaccination sites and pharmacies are the preferred choice to receive your COVID-19 vaccine. When you are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, follow your employer’s vaccine site recommendation, visit the DHS vaccine scheduling website (https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/covid-19/vaccine-registry.htm), or go to vaccinefinder.org to see the number of vaccines available at a nearby pharmacy


Will we be notified when a vaccine is available?
We encourage members to contact their doctor as many health systems have vaccine “waitlists” that ensure your doctor will contact you to receive the vaccine once you are eligible. You can also check eligibility on the DHS website.


Will a COVID-19 test be covered to leave or enter the state/country when traveling?
The COVID-19 test is not covered solely for travel purposes.


Will a COVID-19 test be covered if it is required by a school or employer?
We will not be covering tests that are requested by a third party. The law does not require coverage for any purpose not primarily intended for individualized diagnosis or treatment of COVID-19.
