Is Flu Shot With Insurance Free?

News flash. I never took a flu shot in my whole 64 years. However, I decided to get a flu shot this year because of all the stories of how people are getting ravaged by it across the country.

I went to Walgreens in Chicago and presented my Aetna PPO health insurance card. Sorry, we don't accept that plan the pharmacist said. How much will it cost I asked. $31.99 she replied.

Well, I usually shop at CVS anyway and decided to go over there and see what the story was. Sure enough, the pharmacist checked my card and told me Aetna completely covered the entire cost at that store.                   

So, check it out if you are going to get a flu shot. You might save money.
