On Oct. 09 I had a flu shot at my local Walmart done by Mollen Immunization Clinics. It was clearly conveyed that if my insurance was listed in their booklet they handed to me that my flu shot would be covered. My insurance, Mercy Health Plans, was listed and I properly filled out my information (I have much experience since I have a chronic illness).
A month or so later I get a statement for 28.00 saying that my insurance wouldn't pay. What was STRANGE was that their bill listed that I had my shot in a Nursing Home in Arizona when I had it done at a WALMART in ARKANSAS. And of course the bill was sent to me with an Arkansas address! I thought, no wonder Mercy wouldn't pay; it sounded bogus! So I sent corrected information back.
I have been receiving a monthly bill for this since. I have always paid my bills, but I refuse to pay this due to either their ineptitude with filing or just a plainly fraudulent method of suckering me. I could have gotten my shot free at the county health clinic after all.
Which is just what I did this year. Lesson learned.
