Can I receive a flu shot anywhere (e.g. a supermarket or pharmacy) and submit the bill to Medicare for reimbursement?

No, you cannot receive a flu shot from anywhere and simply submit a claim to Medicare for reimbursement. It is important for you to find out in advance whether or not the entity providing the flu shots has made arrangements to submit claims for Medicare reimbursement. Medicare will only consider claims for services provided by a Medicare-certified provider.
