Re:
Postdoc Medical Plan Enhancement - Flu Shots at Pharmacies

Health Net has enhanced the UC Postdoctoral Scholars HMO and PPO plans to streamline member access to flu shots at pharmacies.  Members may now obtain flu shots at a contracted Health Net pharmacy without paying out-of-pocket and submitting the claim for reimbursement.  Members need only present their Health Net ID card to obtain a flu shot at no cost.

The goals of this change are to improve access to flu immunizations, improve member experience, and encourage members to get their flu shots.  This enhancement also aligns with flu shot access for faculty and staff in the UC Blue & Gold HMO plan.

Please note that this change ONLY applies to flu shots.  Postdoc members wishing to obtain other immunizations from a pharmacy would be required to pay out-of-pocket and submit their claim to Health Net for reimbursement.
