- In the Providence Choice Plans, immunizations received from a participating provider or participating pharmacy are covered in full.
- In the Regence BCBSO Plans:
- The immunization is covered at 100% in the Full-time Plan when provided by a preferred or non-preferred provider who codes the service as preventive.
