Need to reach a doctor, but don’t want to go into the office right now?
Recent developments with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) are impacting the way we would typically do things. But, reaching a doctor doesn’t have to change—even if you don’t want to go into the office right now.
Through your New Jersey state health benefits, you and your covered dependents have access to an R-Health doctor’s office. A key part of R-Health’s model is 24/7 virtual access to a personal primary care physician at no additional cost and with no co-pays.

Executive Order #107
Governor Murphy's Executive Order #107 was issued this past Saturday. This order directs all residents to "stay at home" until further notice. The order allows exceptions such as going to work if you are an essential employee, obtaining essential goods and services, seeking medical attention, visiting close friends and family, or outdoor activities.
State and federal government employees who must report to work are exempted from this order. If you have been directed to attend your work location, you are expected to continue to report to work. Note: the order does not impose a "travel ban." It also orders non-essential businesses to close and for businesses to accommodate telecommuting as much as possible.

Free Flu Shot
From the Treasurer:
It’s not too late to get vaccinated, if you haven’t already. New Jersey is currently experiencing high flu activity. The CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 32 million flu illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations, and 18,000 deaths from flu, including two New Jersey children. Although the seasonal flu vaccine cannot protect you from other viruses, it may help you avoid a trip to the doctor’s office or emergency room. Not only may this lessen your exposure to other illnesses, it may also reduce your risk of developing more serious complications.
Don’t miss this opportunity to protect yourself and your family from the flu!
State of New Jersey members of SEHBP/SHBP and their families can get a flu shot at NO COST at Paladina Health! Walk-in flu shots will be available at the times listed below, or you can call your Paladina Health care team to schedule an appointment at a time that is convenient for you.
