FluImmuniza onGuideOverview
Discover Better, Simpler, Faster
The streamlined immunization process has
evolved to adopt a better, simpler, faster
process to drive optimal execution with a focus on
quality and patient experience.

FluImmuniza onGuideTheProcess
FluImmuniza onProcess
Below is the new flu immunization process. In this document, well be
reviewing the key process changes. Any key steps will be highlighted. You
can find the entire SOP in the appendix of this training guide.

The detailed Flu Immunization SOP is on Page 21 of this document.

FluImmuniza onGuideTheProcess
Step 1: Greet Patient

To enter PCP information in IC+:

1. Select Information and go to the Addl
Info tab.
2. Search for the patients PCP in the
Primary Care Prescriber section.
3. If multiple prescribers are found, verify
the PCPs address with the patient
before selecting.

If the patient cannot verify the

PCPs address when there is
more than one prescriber, do not
select the PCP and continue to
Step 2.

Never select a protocol

prescriber as the patients PCP.

Remember
If an incorrect PCP is selected, the
patients PNL will be sent to an
unintended recipient. This could
result in a breach of Protected
Health Information (PHI), which is a
HIPAA violation.

The detailed Flu Immunization SOP is on Page 21 of this document.

FluImmuniza onGuideTheProcess
Step 2: Use Immunization Selection ToolNEW!
The Immunization Selection Tool allows pharmacy team members to enter key information for each
patient and receive a list of eligible vaccines for that patient. This tool will provide you with which flu
vaccines the patient is eligible to receive, depending on the age requirements in your state and
Walgreens policy on vaccination administration.

The Immunization Selection Tool Link

You can type IMM into your browser OR go to StoreNet > Patient Care > Immunization Services >
Immunization Selection Tool.

Save this link to your Favorites.

Log-in when signing into your IC+ workstation at the start of your shift, so you can easily toggle to
the application when a patient approaches the counter.
Remember
Company policy prohibits
administration of any vaccine, in
any state, to any patient under the
age of 7.

The detailed Flu Immunization SOP is on Page 21 of this document.

FluImmuniza onGuideTheProcess
Step 2: Use Immunization Selection Tool - NEW!
To use the Immunization Selection Tool:
You must use the tool each time a patient asks for an immunization.

1. Select the type of vaccination from the drop-down menu.

2. Answer the questions on-screen. You must answer all
questions before clicking Submit.

Before asking the questions, say to the patient, I

need to ask you a few questions in order to select
the best vaccine for you.

3. When finished, click Submit.

4. The patient may be eligible for

multiple vaccines. Select the
preferred vaccine recommended by
the tool.

If the vaccine cannot be

administered to the patient, the
reason will display on-screen.
Technicians should consult with the
pharmacist at this time.

FluImmuniza onGuideTheProcess
Step 4 : Review Third Party Exceptions

Always review all system quality checks, processor messages and take the appropriate actions:

For all rejections with the following processor

message: *WAG* DO NOT ADMINISTER. Patient
age is outside company policy to administer
vaccine. Refer to SNet > Pt Care>
Immunizations> State Specific page for
administration and dispensing policies., follow
the below procedures.

Do not cash out the vaccine.

Use the Immunization Selection Tool

and determine if there is an approved
age appropriate vaccine available for
the patient, update the vaccine, and
reprocess.

For all other rejections without the above processor message, the patient may choose to pay
cash for the immunization. If the patient chooses to pay cash, go to the patients 3rd party tab
and enter IMMCASH for both the Plan ID and Recipient ID. Select IMMCASH in the Payment
Information section and resubmit.

Step 5 : Perform Data Review and DUR Review (Pharmacist Only)

Remember
Even with prescriber
authorization or a patient
specific prescription,
pharmacists are not
authorized to administer any
immunization outside of your
state regulations and
Walgreens policy.

Instruct the patient to review the information on the VIS concerning their flu immunization.

DO NOT complete the POS transaction with the patient until the VAR has been completed
by the patient and reviewed by the pharmacist to ensure the patient is eligible to receive
the immunization.

5. Once the patient returns the completed and signed VAR, the technician should place the VAR in
the Immunization Ready tote along with the prescription leaflet and alert the pharmacist the
patient has returned the VAR.

If the patient has indicated any information in section A is incorrect, update any patientspecific demographic information.

If the PCP is incorrect, update the patients profile with the correct PCP.

6. Inform the patient that the pharmacist will review the VAR to make sure they are able to receive
the immunization and you will page them to return to the pharmacy shortly to complete the sale.

Immuniza onGuideBilling&CashPayments
Billing

Best Practices:

Request and scan every type of insurance card (medical/pharmacy) and/or voucher into the
patients profile

Always attempt to process the claim under the patients pharmacy benefit plan first, if available.

If the patient does not have a pharmacy benefit plan or the claim rejects, request the patients
medical benefit card.

Offer the vaccine at cash price only if every type of coverage rejects.

When billing United Healthcare Medical plans, if you see a Drug Not Covered reject after submitting
to the plan, refer the patient to another provider to get the vaccine administered.

Please ensure the patient is aware of the following: For medical billing, including Medicare Part B,
covered services are not determined at the point of claim adjudication. Walgreens bills medical
plans after the service is provided and Walgreens will send an invoice to the patient for any unpaid
portion.
