Info for Medicare Recipients Getting A Covid 19 Vaccine:
Things to know:
- Be sure to bring your red, white, and blue Medicare card so your health care provider or pharmacy can bill Medicare. You’ll need your Medicare card even if you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Plan.
- If you fill out a form to get the vaccine, you may be asked for your insurer’s group number. If you have Part B, leave this field blank or write “N/A.” If you have trouble with the form, talk with your vaccine provider.
- Medicare also covers COVID-19 tests, COVID-19 antibody tests, and COVID-19 monoclonal antibody treatments.

Check out this life insurance ad from the 1980’s. It would be pretty controversial today!! However, it does point out an often-overlooked concern. Families often focus on life insurance for the primary breadwinner…but the loss of either parent would be detrimental. (Note: we are not agents for Albany Life…but we do sell life insurance!).
Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy 2021! Thank you for supporting our small business. We appreciate all of you very much!
