I heard the pharmacist tell the Walgreen’s pharmacy clerk that a Medicare recipient can get 8 free tests every 28 days.
I’d already gotten my 8 free tests for the month from one pharmacy, but while in a different pharmacy the same month to get an RX for my H, I got his 8 free tests at that time. The clerk asked if I’d gotten my 8 for the month yet, and when I said I didn’t remember (thinking of this thread to see what would happen), they ran my Medicare card through and said I could get 8 free tests, too.
So Medicare did apparently give the retail pharmacies the authority to manage this.
