 Did you/Will you pay a copay for the flu shot? 
I was told we shouldnt have to, it should be free. I called my Ped office and they said yes they charge the copay because the Dr checks their ears, etc.    My boys very recently had well visits, why do Dr's do these quick "cha-ching" visits for themselves?

Our office doesn't charge. The nurse gives the shot, that's it.

We pay.  Although I didn't get Sean the flu shot this year and Kevin only got the 1st part.

If I went part as a well visit I don't have to. If I bring him in just for a shot I do.

 Re: Did you/Will you pay a copay for the flu shot? 
thanks for the input everyone. part of me thinks this whole flu shot crap is a bunch of crap    If it aint broke, dont fix it. If theyre gonna get the sniffles, theyre gonna get the sniffles..

  How else are they going to buy their big fancy cars???  LOL  yeah I agree it's silly.  Matthew is getting his flu shot this month.  I wonder if they will charge a copay.  I haven't called and asked.

  It depends on your insurance plan, we pay for well visits too.

We don't pay for well visits.  But I wonder if we will be paying for this one.
