Our health insurance has paid for our flu shots for the past four years. This year I got a bill from the pediatrician for $88 each for the two kids. The insurance denied the claim and said that they were not supposed to pay for them in the past either. So I paid $176 for flu mists and the kids STILL GOT THE FLU. Next year they will get $25 shots at Walgreens.
As typically happens, she didn't shop price and was willing to let the insurance company pay $126 more than what she would have been willing to pay out of her own pocket.
