The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends everyone 6 months and older get the flu shot. Your Aetna plan covers this service under your Part B (medical) coverage. When you get your shot, show your member ID card for medical coverage. How you get your shot is your choice.
Schedule an appointment with your doctor
Visit your doctor before flu season begins. If you don’t have a doctor yet, use the online tool below to search for one in our network.
Visit an in-network pharmacy
Our in-network flu shot providers bill us directly, so you won’t have to pay up front. This isn’t a complete list of participating pharmacies in our network. Call the number on your member ID card if you don’t see yours.
Get a flu shot out of network
You can also go to a flu shot provider that is not in our network. With this option, you must:
Send a copy of your receipt to the claims address on your Aetna ID card
Include your member ID on the receipt
