I don't even really care about the $%%, I really care about getting ripped off by them for any amount.
Insurance companies and their coding make the world a mess.
I had trouble with our Walgreen here also so I think it is a corporate problem somebody putting the code in the system got it wrong.
I checked with my insurance and they said hubby was covered (over 65) and that I was covered due to my medical history (lung scarring) but I would have to get the shot from my Doctor as he would have to code it as a medical necessity issue. Went to the Dr, clerk put the wrong code on it and so it was disallowed then they had to resubmit. The world is getting so complicated that I don't know how those who are not mentally agile cope, and I worry that some day I won't be able to.
