Check your facts before being critical and dismissive.

We both got the enhanced flu shots at the Lake Miona Rec Center - the shots were available on several dates at several rec centers - Medicare paid for them.

Don't know what Walgreens was doing in your case but, again, you've been around long enough to realize when something doesn't make sense and to check further before jumping to conclusions.[/QUOTE]

I do not think it is at all unreasonable for the OP to accept the information from Walgreen's as fact, particularly since we are all being pushed into using these mini-clinics.

At some point we need to start demanding better quality of service from "everyone" with whom we contract. However, until then, trust but verify is just not a practical approach with something so trivial as a $55 reimbursement.
