Double check with your insurance company
My doctor had encouraged me to get the Shingles shot when I turned 60. So about two months ago I called my health insurance, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and ask if they covered the shot. They said they did.
I went to Wal-Greens on the appointed day to get my shot. The insurance card wouldn't go through. I went ahead and paid for it. I then called my insurance company and he said unless it was a regular clinic in a drugstore they don't cover the cost. In other words the doctor offices want their fair share of the amount for an office call to get it.
My Mom suffered with it for about two months from head to knees on the right side. I determined it was worth the $220 to get the shot.
