THE INAUGURAL Private Drug Plan Leadership: Vaccine Coverage Report Card was developed to highlight those benefits providers with modernized drug plan policies that include vaccines as a standard inclusion, rather than leaving the drug plan decision in the hands of the plan sponsor or benefits advisor. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that immunization is the foundation of the primary health care system and an indisputable human right. It’s also one of the best health investments money can buy. However, research conducted by Mapol has shown 32 percent of private payer plan members do not have coverage for vaccines, and 31 percent of private payer vaccine prescription claims are rejected, leaving plan members with insufficient coverage and unnecessary out-of-pocket costs.
