May 7

I have United Healthcare through Texas
Teacher Retirement System Medicare.

Until this year, my pharmacy was CVS.
This year they said I could no longer
use CVS, so I switched to HEB.

I didn't get the booster because HEB
doesn't offer Moderna.

However, I finally decided to go with CVS
and just pay whatever it cost. But there
was no charge, I'm not sure why.

Anyhow... not complaining.
