NOTICE: The Barber County Health Department will no longer be
having an open clinic on Wednesday afternoons for Immunizations. Due
to insurance changes and the manner in which State vaccine is handled,
it will be necessary to make appointments for immunizations. To reduce
the in-office wait time, we would like for each client to call for an
immunization appointment with the following information: the name of
the insurance company, prior authorization phone number, and the card
holder’s account number. Our office will contact the insurance company
in advance of the scheduled appointment. Phone number: 620-886-3294 or
1-800-748-5788. We will still be providing State vaccine for those
with State Insurance, and private vaccine for those with private
insurance. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make
these changes.
