Network Pharmacies: Flu shots covered at no cost. Examples include Ohio State retail pharmacies, CVS, Walmart, Giant Eagle, Meijer, and Costco.

Excluded Pharmacies (such as Kroger and Walgreens): Flu shots and other prescriptions are not covered.

Please note: To use your pharmacy benefit coverage, the flu shot must be administered by the pharmacist at the network pharmacy itself, not at the “clinic” associated with the pharmacy. The preferred and non-preferred status of in-network pharmacies is subject to change. Flu shots administered by non-preferred pharmacies will be subject to member cost share. Medical benefit coverage for flu shots administered within store “clinics” are subject to using a provider in your medical benefit coverage network.
