Canadian data shows vaccines can save $2.5 billion a year in unnecessary health costs and lost productivity, with a 341 per cent return on every dollar spent, he said. But despite these benefits, significant gaps remain. “Private plans nationally paid about $326 million in vaccine claims; however, 1.5 million claims were rejected.”.

他说,加拿大数据显示,疫苗每年可节省 25 亿美元的不必要医疗费用和生产力损失,每花费 1 美元即可获得 341% 的回报。但尽管有这些好处,仍然存在显著的差距。“全国私人保险计划支付了约 3.26 亿美元的疫苗索赔;然而,有 150 万项索赔被拒绝。”

Ma also highlighted that only 71 per cent of Canadians with private insurance have vaccine coverage, leaving about seven million without. The gap is even larger for small businesses, where 46 per cent don’t include vaccines in their plans. Insurer’s classifications of vaccines as lifestyle or optional is a legacy from when vaccines were primarily for children and were publicly funded, he noted “The landscape has changed but their policies have not modernized.”.

马还强调,只有71%的加拿大人拥有私人保险的疫苗覆盖,约有七百万人没有。小企业的差距更大,46%的企业未将疫苗纳入其计划。他指出,保险公司将疫苗归类为生活方式或可选项目,这是从疫苗主要针对儿童且由公共资金资助时遗留下来的问题。“环境已经改变,但他们的政策并未现代化。”

Ma also pointed out administrative barriers, such as requiring a doctor’s prescription for Schedule 2 vaccines, which are available behind the counter at pharmacies and don’t legally require a prescription. “Why should plan members be asked to get a prescription when six million individuals don’t have a family doctor in Canada today?”.

马还指出了行政障碍,例如要求医生处方才能获得第二类疫苗,而这些疫苗在药店柜台后就可以买到,法律上并不需要处方。 “当加拿大今天有六百万人没有家庭医生时,为什么还要求计划成员去获取处方呢?”

Ma recommended that “insurers make vaccines a standard inclusion now — not next year, not the next product review, not when it’s convenient, now. The economics and public health evidence support it and plan sponsors’ employees need it.”

马建议“保险公司现在就将疫苗纳入标准条款——不是明年,不是下一次产品审查时,也不是方便的时候,而是现在。经济和公共卫生证据都支持这一点,而且计划赞助商的员工也需要它。”

He urged plan sponsors to proactively request vaccine coverage and communicate it to employees and for advisors to advocate for standard vaccine inclusion and to educate plan sponsor clients on its importance.

他敦促计划发起人主动要求疫苗覆盖,并将其传达给员工,还敦促顾问倡导将疫苗纳入标准,并向计划发起人客户宣传其重要性。
