For Blue Medicare Members
Blue Medicare HMO and Blue Medicare PPO members are eligible to receive flu shots without a copayment if they go to in-network doctors for their flu shots. However, if a patient sees the doctor for other services, an office visit copayment may be charged. Blue Medicare patients can also receive their annual flu shots at any in-network immunizing pharmacist.

For Federal Employee Program (FEP) Members
There are many places FEP members can go at their convenience to get a flu shot, including their local pharmacy. Per the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Service Benefit Plan, FEP members can receive a flu shot with no out-of-pocket cost at a Preferred provider or at any of our Preferred retail pharmacies in our FEP network. Members should check with their pharmacy or call 800-624-5060 to find out which vaccines their local pharmacy can provide. Visit the FEP website for more information.
