If you want or need a vaccine, including a COVID-19 vaccine, your health plan must cover it, regardless of actions taken at the federal level. This is true more than 1 million people in Washington state enrolled in health plans that my office regulates.
Our office reviews all individual and small employer health plans each year, looking at any benefit changes and, when justified, rate changes. These plans must cover preventive services, including coverage for vaccines that were in force and approved when the plans were filed in May 2024.
This is also true for next year’s plans. They were filed in May 2025 so the benefits that start on Jan. 1, 2026, will be in effect for the rest of the year.
