@921b11f7 @92e87ec1 @3967703f I signed up for an appointment at the CVS, got charged $190 for the covid booster because "your insurance doesn't cover it". I pointed out that their location was listed as part of the Bridge Access program and was told my only options were to pay the $190 or cancel my appointment, and I wanted the shot and could afford it, so I went ahead and paid it.
@64a373a4 @92e87ec1 @3967703f I've seen a lot of people who had made appts reporting getting turned away bc of no actual vax available; and some bc of insurance/being told to pay. You're the 1st I've heard of telling the pharmacy point blank to use the Bridge Pgm and it still not working--but I'm sure that's just bc not enough ppl are asking for that. UGH, shitshow
(My dad also had his appt he'd confirmed on the phone later canceled)

Your insurance must cover it. I had difficulties with CVS too. Call your insurance to verify they do and rectify the information in CVS.
It is interesting there's so many people having this issue, me included. I start to think it is systemic and not a coincidence
