H1N1 Flu Shot Information for Health Benefit Representatives
Maxim Healthcare Services, a vendor of BCBSNC, will send a team of nurses to worksites and provide H1N1 flu shots to employees, retirees and dependents who are covered by the State Health Plan and/or BCBSNC. Children between the ages of 10 and 17 must have parents present to receive a flu shot. Children under 10 must go to a physician to get both doses of the H1N1 flu vaccine. Maxim will charge $15 per H1N1 flu vaccine for family members and employees who are not covered by the State Health Plan and/or BCBSNC. If less than 25 H1N1 flu shots are given, Maxim will charge $12.00 for each shot that falls short of the minimum – no exceptions.
Maxim can now accommodate all H1N1 clinic requests so please submit your clinic request as soon as possible so that they may route vaccines to your area quickly.
Please Note: Any H1N1 flu clinics not arranged between BCBSNC and their flu shot vendor Maxim, or H1N1 flu shots not obtained through a physician's office, Minute Clinic or in-network pharmacist may result in a cost to the member.
Employees and dependent family members on the State Health Plan who do not have access to a worksite clinic or do not wish to wait for a worksite H1N1 vaccination clinic can visit one of the participating providers/places of service in North Carolina listed below to receive the covered H1N1 flu shot.
PLEASE NOTE: Outside of NC, there are no out of state pharmacists in-network.
The flu shot will be free to the member IF they go to one of the following locations/ providers for a flu shot. If other services are performed at the same time a flu shot is administered (i.e. physical exam), a copayment will apply.
- In-network Primary Care Physician’s office (nurse visits only)
- In-network CVS MinuteClinic
- In-network immunizing pharmacist (an individual pharmacist in the BCBSNC network). To find a participating pharmacist go to Find a Doctor and search for a specialty of "Pharmacist (Flu and Other Limited Injections)"
