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 providers listed below
Our in-network flu providers bill us directly so you won’t have to pay upfront.

You can also get a flu shot from a flu provider that is not in our flu network. With this option, you need to send a copy of your receipt to the claims address on your Aetna ID card. Be sure to include your member ID on the receipt.
