Flu season is
here. Have you gotten your flu shot yet?
It’s easy for
active members of the Medical Plan to protect themselves against the flu this
season. You can get your flu shot at a participating retail pharmacy or at
your doctor’s office—whichever is more convenient for you. Either way, it’s
covered at 100%.
The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a yearly flu vaccine for
everyone as the most important step in protection against the influenza virus.
A flu shot not only protects you from influenza, but can also help prevent
spreading the virus to others.
Getting your flu
shot at a pharmacy? Just show your Express Scripts ID
card. To locate a participating retail pharmacy:
- sign in to your Express Scripts account through Benefits Connect or the Express Scripts website or
- call Express Scripts at 800-344-3896
Getting your flu
shot at your physician’s office?* If you have
coverage under Highmark and you get your shot from a network physician, the
physician’s office will submit the charges directly to Highmark.
And for active
plan members, the immunization will be added automatically to your Personal Health Record (PHR)
from ActiveHealth Management. If you aren’t taking advantage of your
confidential and convenient PHR to manage your health history yet, launch yours today.
If you have
questions about your coverage for your seasonal flu shot or your PHR, please
call the Board of Pensions at 800-773-7752 (800-PRESPLAN).
Protect yourself
against the flu this season … get your flu shot today!
*A prescription from
a physician is required in some states. Please check with your local pharmacy.
