Flu Shot Information for Health Benefit Representatives
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC), in cooperation with the State Health Plan, is again offering state agencies the opportunity to host seasonal flu shot clinics at designated employee worksites this fall. Seasonal flu shot clinics are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis – so you need to reserve a date for your clinic as soon as possible. Flu shot clinics can be scheduled from October 1 through December 31, 2009. The last day requests will be accepted is Wednesday, September 30.
Maxim Healthcare Services, a vendor of BCBSNC, will send a team of nurses to worksites and provide seasonal flu shots while supplies last to employees, retirees and dependents who are covered by the State Health Plan and/or BCBSNC. Children between the ages of nine and 17 must have parents present to receive a flu shot. Children under nine must go to a physician for their seasonal flu shots. Maxim will charge $30 per seasonal flu shot for family members and employees who are not covered by the State Health Plan and/or BCBSNC. If less than 25 seasonal flu shots are given, Maxim will charge $24.00 for each shot that falls short of the minimum – no exceptions.
Please Note: Any seasonal flu clinics not arranged between BCBSNC and our flu shot vendor Maxim, or seasonal flu shots not obtained through a physician's office, Minute Clinic or in-network pharmacist may result in a cost to the member.
The attached documents describe how the flu shot program will work and the Health Benefit Representatives’ responsibilities.
