Seasonal Flu Vaccines for Blue Essentials Members
Oct. 10, 2018
Now is the perfect time for you to encourage your patients to get their flu vaccinations. This flu season, BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina BlueEssentialsSM members can get flu vaccines covered under their pharmacy benefit at $0 copay at a participating CVS/pharmacy Vaccine Network location. CVS is a division of CVS Health, an independent company that provides pharmacy benefit services on behalf of our health plans. Flu vaccines administered in pharmacies that are not a part of the vaccine network are subject to an administration fee that will be the member’s responsibility.
In addition to seasonal flu vaccines, BlueEssentials members can also receive certain non-seasonal preventive care vaccines at $0 copay under their pharmacy benefit at a CVS/pharmacy Vaccine Network location.
