Payment…

If you are NOT covered on the UVM healthcare plan with BCBSVT, you will need to pay $25 cash or check at the time of the flu shot or $41 at the time of the biometric screening. (Credit and debit cards are NOT accepted.)

If you ARE covered on the UVM healthcare plan with BCBSVT, there is no cost to you for the flu shot or biometric screenings. You must present your BCBSVT card and a photo ID.

Other Flu Shot Options

If you are covered on the UVM healthcare plan with BCBSVT and you cannot or do not want to receive a flu shot on campus, or if you wish to get flu shots for your covered dependents who are under age 18, you and/or your dependents can schedule flu shots with your primary care provider or from a BCBSVT network pharmacy at no cost to you (subject to scheduling requirements and availability).  Simply present your BCBSVT card - you will not need to fill out the UVM Medical Center paperwork mentioned above.

Helpful Tip:  Those who choose to receive a flu shot at a BCBSVT network pharmacy might find it easiest to go to the pharmacy that regularly fills their prescriptions, since that establishment will already have all the pertinent information on record.
