Just found out my health insurance wasn't covering a flu shot given by a pharmacy
Who told you that, your insurance provider or the pharmacy? Just recently I read an article in the L.A. Times about pharmacies that scam customers by telling them their health insurance does not cover flu vaccinations when in fact they do:

Was the pharmacy after running my insurance card which is why I'm still on hold waiting to talk to the insurance people...
And the pharmacy people gave me a printout that showed the rejection so...we'll see
I recommend contacting your insurance company yourself to resolve this question.
Just talked to them...finally. Apparently they don't cover pharmacy flu shots EXCEPT in the state the insurance is in (main company headquarters is) but they will reimburse part of it but I have to submit a claim. As for the shingles shot - not covered UNLESS through an Urgent Care or Doctor's Office. YMMV
