About Flu Shot
A flu shot is an annual influenza vaccination recommended for everyone 6 months and older. It is the most effective way to prevent seasonal flu and its complications. The vaccine is updated each year to match circulating strains and is widely available at doctor offices, pharmacies, and clinics.
Understanding Your Bill
Flu shots are covered at no cost as preventive care under most insurance plans. Cash prices are typically low. The bill includes the vaccine itself and an administration fee.
How to Save on Your Flu Shot
Compare Cash Prices
Cash prices can be 50-80% lower than insurance rates. Always ask for the self-pay price before booking.
Consider Imaging Centers
Freestanding imaging centers often charge much less than hospitals for the same exact scan.
Submit to Insurance
