UnitedHealthcare Rhody Health Partners
Are you ready for flu season?
Influenza, commonly called the flu, is a serious illness that can spread easily. It can lead to missed days at school or work, and even hospital stays. Here’s the good news: a simple shot can reduce your chances of getting influenza — and it’s available to you at no cost with your UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Talk to your UnitedHealthcare network doctor about getting the flu shot. If you don’t have one, please contact Member Services at 888-716-8787 and a representative can help you find one.
