Ochsner Health President and CEO Warner Thomas said the surcharge for unvaccinated spouses and partners is part of an effort to keep health premiums low for employees.
NEW ORLEANS — Louisiana’s largest health system is ratcheting up pressure to get vaccinated against Covid-19.
The Covid vaccine fee for spouses will begin in 2022 and could deduct up to $2,400 yearly from the employee’s paycheck. The fee is only for domestic partners or spouses, not other dependents such as children who are covered by the employee’s health insurance and are eligible for vaccination, according to a letter Ochsner leaders sent to employees.
Meanwhile, Louisiana is trying to encourage more people to get the Covid-19 shot by offering them a cash incentive.
