@SEPTA Is there something wrong with real time tracking of regional rail?

My work bridges two worlds-- theater and academia--with very different initial reactions to a new idea:
Me: Hey! Here's this new thing I just thought about and I'm trying to work through...
Theater: Yes! And....
Academia: Yes. But....

@lucyprebblish Saw it at Barrow Street; still thinking about it. Happy it's back in NY!

$435 for three COVID shots. Insurance only covers places that are not offering the vaccine and, in one case, a place that is no longer in business.

[EmbaRx @RxEmba]

My only option: pay for them myself. Which, for my family, will be $800. Somebody did not think this thru; or maybe they did. (4/4)

[EmbaRx @RxEmba]

I guess technically my insurance covers the COVID vax for free. If you go to primary care physician. Are there any PCPs administering the vax anymore? (1/4)

[EmbaRx @RxEmba]

Here's the kicker: because I have insurance that "covers the shots for free" I am not eligible for the Bridge Access Program. (3/4)

[EmbaRx @RxEmba]

@raksingh Technically we are not eligible for the Bridge Access Program because we do, in theory, have insurance that covers the vax- at places that do not, in fact, have the vax or are out of business. Only option left: pay $800 for my family to get vaxed. Nope. 2/2

[EmbaRx @RxEmba]

@raksingh Count me out. CVS has the vax but my insurance does not cover it there. It does cover it at my PCP--who is not providing the vax-- and at clinic-- that has gone out of business. 1/2

@CDCDirector Is my only option really to pay $800 for my family to get the vax?

[EmbaRx @RxEmba]

.@CDCDirector CVS has the vax but my insurance does not cover it there. It does cover it at my PCP--who is not providing the vax-- and a clinic-- that has gone out of business. 1/3

[EmbaRx @RxEmba]

@CDCDirector Technically we are not qualified for the Bridge Access Program because we do, in theory, have insurance that covers the vax- at places that do not, in fact, have the vax and/or are no longer in business. 2/3

[EmbaRx @RxEmba]

Places that have the vax don't take my insurance. Places that take my insurance do not have the vax. This is going well.

@inthebubblepod @megtirrell @apoorva_nyc @ASlavitt
Have you been hearing any reports that CVS Caremark is not covering the new COVID vaccine at CVS Pharmacy, or maybe it's a quirk of my particular plan?

[EmbaRx @RxEmba]

Confirmed: CVS Caremark does not cover the new covid vax at @cvspharmacy. How could this be possible?

[EmbaRx @RxEmba]

.@CDCDirector Please help. Caremark does not cover Covid vax at CVS. IBX covers only shots from PCP, but my PCP does not have the vax. Can't afford $200 out of pocket. How do I get this vax????

[EmbaRx @RxEmba]

@CDCDirector Please help. I tried to get COVID vax but was told CVS Caremark does not cover it at @cvspharmacy ;use medical insurance instead. But that only covers shots from PCP, and my PCP does not offer the shot. I can't afford $200 out of pocket. What do I do?
