The single best way to prevent the flu is to get your flu shot
How flu shots are covered
Flu shots are covered under Medicare Part B (medical) coverage. When you get a flu shot, show your ID card for medical coverage — not your card for prescription drugs.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends everyone 6 months and older get the flu shot.
Options to get your flu shot with our Medicare Advantage plans:
- Schedule an appointment with your doctor
- Visit one of our in-network flu shot providers listed below
Our in-network flu shot providers bill us directly so you won’t have to pay upfront.
