h1n1 swine fluMost major health insurers in New Jersey have agreed to cover the swine flu vaccine when it becomes available. New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine says the insurers will cover the shots even if policyholders have exhausted their so-called wellness allowance. The insurers include Aetna, AmeriGroup, AmeriHealth, CIGNA, HealthNet, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, UnitedHealthCare and University Health Plans. Last week Corzine announced that the state will guarantee free swine flu vaccinations for New Jersey’s 1.3 million uninsured residents. The vaccines are expected to be shipped to New Jersey by mid- to late October. The federal government is paying to produce the shots. New Jersey is the second state where insurers have promised to cover the cost of administering them. AP
