This year the Veteran’s Administration has worked out the ability for Veteran’s to get free flu shots through community pharmacies as of September 1st, 2020.
• As with community prescriptions, the Veterans will not have a prescription card on hand. The Veteran will need to supply a Government Issued ID and state that they are eligible. The following information will allow TriWest participating pharmacies to bill for flu shot injections. Please print and copy this document for reference within your pharmacy.
UPDATE AS OF 09/03/2020: TriWest changed the “Group” code that pharmacies will need to electronically bill for flu vaccines administered to Veterans. They are also doing an IT update, which will not allow for any billing until tomorrow, September 4. Please note that TRI WEST is billing through EXPRESS Scripts.
The following information has been updated and is required by the networked pharmacies to bill:
Member ID - 9-digit Social Security Number BIN - 003858 PCN - A4 Group - VETERAN Personal Code - 01
Troubleshooting Contact Numbers for Community Pharmacies: TriWest/Express Scripts (ESI): 1-800-922-1557
