8. They likely want you to go to your doctor for the flu shot

And most likely the copay for an office visit is more than the $20 Walgreens charges for the shot so unless you were going for your annual physical (no copay, thanks to the ACA), you're better off that way.

And yes, UHC is (or close to) the worst. They routinely told providers that my co-pay was higher than it actual was. When I called to get them to correct the error, I was always given an attitude about it. Once the rep asked, "So why don't you think you should be responsible for the co-pay?"

My company switched to Horizon BCBS two years ago and they seem more competent.
