Dear Physician or Health Care Practitioner,

Thank you for your continued participation in our network and the care you provide to our members. As previously announced, UnitedHealthcare and its affiliated companies will reimburse for the administrative costs of H1N1 vaccine administration, regardless of the individual’s benefit plan. As such, Health Plan of Nevada (HPN) and Sierra Health and Life (SHL) are waiving coinsurance, deductibles and copays, and providing coverage for services rendered by plan and non-plan providers and public clinics and pharmacies.

Please click on the enclosed Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) which details the billing procedures related to the vaccine administration.

If you choose not to administer the vaccine or it is not made available to you through your state health department, we encourage you to refer your patients to public health immunization clinics, pharmacies or physicians in our network. For up-to-date information specific to your local area, please visit the Centers for disease control and Prevention Web site at www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/vaccination/statecontacts.htm
