Medicare beneficiaries who are able to get their hands on a dose of the new shingles vaccine, which has been in short supply, may pay more than they expect. The lowest GoodRx price for the Shingrix vaccine is about $151. This is the cost of the medication only and does not include administration fees. Shingrix is covered by most health insurance and Medicare Part D, though there may be a copay. What’s the difference between Shingrix and Zostavax? But the shingles vaccine is covered under the Part D prescription drug program. That means you must be enrolled in a private Part D plan (a stand-alone drug plan or a Medicare health plan that covers drugs), get the vaccine through your plan and pay whatever share of the cost that your plan requires. Here’s the quick answer. Surprisingly, Original Medicare (Parts A and B) doesn’t cover the shingles vaccine, even though it covers other vaccines like the flu vaccine and pneumonia shot. On the other hand, Medicare Part D—or a Medicare Advantage plan that includes Part D coverage—typically does cover the vaccine. The devil is in the details.
