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 12 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 test, 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, we will not require pre-authorization for medical services related to the testing for COVID-19. If you are unsure if you need a COVID-19 test, try using a Virtual Visit first to receive an opinion from a provider.

Virtual Visits

Please note, virtual visits with any provider require audio and visual components to be covered. If you need to see a healthcare provider, we encourage you to use your Virtual Visit benefit to see a doctor on your smartphone, tablet or computer.

As of March 19th, 2020, all Medical/Urgent Care virtual visit costs on Maddy Virtual Care and Amwell will be waived for high deductible health plan members, even if you have not yet met your deductible.

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.

Virtual visits are great for medical/urgent care type visits and can help provide guidance if you have questions surrounding COVID-19. To sign up or log in, visit www.MaddyVirtualCare.com.
