Immunization Fees

  • Insurances will be billed and client will be responsible for whatever portion is not covered by insurance.
  • Administration Fees charged will be based on a sliding fee scale according to 150% federal poverty guidelines.
  • Each immunization will have an individual charge.
  • If you do not have insurance coverage, we can provide you an application to see if you qualify for Healthy Kids or MIChild.
  • Charge to you helps covers the cost for administration of the immunization, supplies needed to administer the immunization, costs involved in billing insurances and clients, and general ancillary costs.
  • PLEASE NOTE:  The sliding scale applies only to the administration fee.  If the child is not eligible for the VFC (Vaccines for Children) program, the cost of the vaccine is billed to any private insurance.  If the child does not have private insurance, or if the private insurance doesn't pay 100% of the vaccine cost, the client is responsible for the balance of the cost of the vaccine.

Find the row with the number of people in your family, follow the row until you find the range your yearly income falls into. At the top of that column is the percentage of the charge that you will be responsible for. For example, a family of 8, with a yearly income of $35,000, would be responsible for paying 60% of the administration fee, which is shown in the “Administration Fee” column in the table below.
