[MCOH-EH] Charging for MMR titers

[Lisa Dyrdahl]

We do charge our cost for MMR Titer and for the MMR if needed:
$42.00  MMR Titer
$35.00 MMR vaccine, each
We check the state database, do our best to obtain other records, if we cannot find documentation, we charge the employee for the cost.  They have the option of getting through their own provider if they have insurance.  We had a Rubeola exposure end of May, we are unwavering on this requirement.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Charging for MMR titers

We are seeing an increase in the costs for performing MMR titers. If a new hire employee is unable to provide proof of vaccination for MMR, do you charge for performing titers? If the employee needs the vaccine, do you charge for it?

Thanks,
