Mercy Medical Center has launched a major initiative to protect as many young women as possible from cervical cancer by educating them on the availability of a new vaccine and, in some cases, paying for the cost of the vaccine. The Gardasil™ vaccine protects young females from four strains of the human papilloma virus (HPV), including the two strains responsible for about 70% of all cervical cancer cases.
For more information on Gardasil go to www.gardasil.com.
Mercy has limited grant funds available to help pay the vaccine
cost for some girls and women ages 9 through 26 who lack insurance
benefits for the vaccine or who may not be eligible for government
immunization programs such as Vaccines for Children.
If you are interested in receiving the vaccine for yourself or your daughter(s), please follow these steps:
- Check with your insurance company to see if the Garadsil vaccine
is covered under your medical plan. There should be a phone
number on the back of your insurance card to call for benefits
questions. Your insurance company may ask you for
a CPT code. That code is 90649.
- If you determine that your insurance covers the Gardasil vaccine
cost, please contact your family physician's office and make an
appointment to discuss receiving the series of three Gardasil
vaccinations.
- If you discover that your medical plan does not cover the vaccine
cost, please call one of the Mercy Medical Center clinics listed
at the bottom of this page and make an appointment to determine
how grant money that is available for a limited time might be
able to help you or your daughter get vaccinated. The vaccine
must be administered at one of the Mercy clinics listed below
in order for the vaccine cost to be eligible for payment through
the grant.
