Measles Outbreak Compels Caduceus Medical Group To Cover Patient Cost for Vaccine
Yorba Linda, California (PRWEB) January 30, 2015 -- Caduceus Medical Group is now offering to pick up patient out-of-pocket costs for the measles (MMR) vaccine. This decision reaffirms Caduceus’ commitment to being one of the trendsetters in the medical field, putting “patients before profits” and reaffirming its commitment to protecting patients’ health regardless of out-of-pocket costs that may be incurred by Caduceus. Caduceus Medical Director, Gregg DeNicola MD, adds, “We can see the consequences of a significant part of the population choosing to not immunize, whatever the reasons. It is essential we immediately have all of our patients immunized to prevent this type of outbreak in the future. Caduceus will bear the cost of the vaccine up front to take responsibility in minimizing the spread of this outbreak.”
Both existing patients and those new to Caduceus that establish care at the time of the visit may take advantage of this update to the Caduceus vaccination policy, available at all office locations in Yorba Linda, Irvine, and Laguna Beach.
