#Flu & #COVID vax failure

Well h*ll! Just struck out on my Flu and COVID shots due to insurance issues.

The previous pharmacy (RiteAid) went bankrupt. #CVS got (bought?) RiteAid's client list, so I was in the CVS system. Plus the CVS location convenient. So went for CVS.

Nope! When I got to CVS, I found out they don't take my insurance. 🤬

They did try to call me about 40 minutes before the appointment. I did try a return the call.

But the CVS answering system did its job: Discouraged me from completing the call.

So me and #SaintLuigi now need to find a pharmacy that takes my insurance.

Frustrating. But I'm in Washington state, so the vaccines are available.

Follow up 🤔 thought: Availability of the COVID vax may depend the medical insurance companies. If they think the vax saves them money in reduced payouts, then the COVID vax will continue to be covered.

Don't know, but it's possible...

And the #Flu & #COVID vax failure continues...

The recently revised medical insurance website does not have a way to identify which pharmacies accept the stinking insurance. When you click on the find pharmacies, it gives a blank page...

🤬 🤬

Definitely need some help from #SaintLuigi...
