Haven't had my flu shot yet, long story, but hope to be able to have it within the next few weeks. Did they say how much they charge Medicare for the shot? The reason I ask is, we have a clinic here and they give them for free but will bill Medicare if you have it. I thought...why? If everyone can get it for nothing why do older folks have to use Medicare for one? I suppose it's all about the money! :)
Funny you should ask....before we left my Mom said they usually go to a lab and it costs $35 (open weekdays), but today would be $40, which was fine. The local Health Department does give free shots, but is downtown. I said I’d take them, but she said today’s outing would be just fine.
After they were back in the car and telling me what happened, I said, “I thought you weren’t using Medicare, just paying for them”. I could hear the *sigh* from the back seat. Hindsight is good, said she. LOL!
All this to tell you I have no clue about Medicare payment.
