5 Member Frequently Asked Questions - Pharmacy Vaccination Program Q: Are there certain pharmacies that members must go to or can they go to any retail pharmacy to receive a vaccination? A: Plan sponsors and members will have access to many pharmacies, including most major chains. Non-Medicare members can log into Express-Scripts.com to see if your pharmacy is contracted in the network at the Find a Pharmacy that Offers Vaccines link, or members can call a Patient Care Advocate at the phone number listed on your prescription card. The full list of contracted pharmacies may also be available through your HR representative. Members should contact the pharmacy in advance to see if they are providing vaccinations, have any age restrictions, and verify hours available, etc., as not all pharmacies have a certified pharmacist who can administer vaccines. Q: Can members go to the MinuteClinic/The Little Clinic, etc. to receive their vaccine? A: NO. On-site clinics at pharmacies do not process vaccine claims through the pharmacy benefit. Since these clinics are not contracted with ESI, they only process vaccine claims on the medical benefit. PLEASE GO TO THE PHARMACIST TO GET YOUR VACCINE and be sure to present your Express Scripts member ID card. Q: Can all vaccines be administered in the retail pharmacy setting? A: Many vaccines can be administered in the retail pharmacy setting. However, every state has specific regulations regarding age restrictions and what vaccines are available through the pharmacist. Members should check with their local pharmacy for further clarification. Q: Is a physician Rx required for a pharmacy to dispense or administer a vaccine? A: This will vary by state and the retail pharmacies will be required to follow all state and federal regulations as it relates to the administration of vaccines. However, pharmacists in all 50 states are certified to administer/inject the flu vaccine without a prescription; age restrictions may apply. Contact your local pharmacy to determine if a physician Rx is required for your requested vaccine. Q: What vaccine products are included in the Retail Vaccination Program? A: Express Scripts plan sponsors can elect to include any or all of the following products: Influenza Pneumonia Herpes zoster (Zostavax) Hepatitis HPV Childhood Vaccines (Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella, Poliomyelitis) Meningococcal Rabies Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis Travel vaccines/bioterrorism (typhoid, yellow fever, anthrax, etc.) Check with your HR representative to verify what vaccines are covered.
