According to the CDC, last year’s flu season turned out to be the longest in a decade for the United States -- 21 weeks. The CDC recommends that everyone six months of age and older should get a flu vaccine every season, especially people at high risk.
Flu shots are 100% covered under all BMC medical plans. Getting a flu shot at your local in-network retail clinic or pharmacy is convenient and will cost less than going to your doctor. Confirm that the retail clinic or pharmacy is in-network before you go. BCBSTX members visiting a pharmacy for the flu shot will need to present your Express Scripts pharmacy card. Kaiser members will need to present your Kaiser ID card at the pharmacy.
If you decide to get your flu shot at your doctor's office, BCBSTX members will need to present your BCBSTX medical card. Kaiser members will need to present your Kaiser ID card. You might be asked to present a photo ID along with your medical or pharmacy card.
BCBSTX participants: If you are hit by the flu this season, MDLIVE can help. MDLIVE provides a doctor’s care from anywhere. For $44, a doctor will contact you within minutes (via phone or video), diagnose and, if medically necessary, prescribe medication available at your pharmacy of choice. You can use MDLIVE for cold and flu, allergies, and more. You must register with MDLIVE before your first consultation.
