Just today I found out that Shingrix is paid by your Medicare D plan! You pay whatever the copay if you have a Medicare Advantage Plan. So I just got the shot on Saturday and because I had not yet made my deductible, it cost me $179. I found out if I had gone to a place that accepts Humana (where I have my D plan) it would have cost me $126. So live and learn! This was the first shot. I will try to get the next one at Walmart Neighborhood.
