  1. I called the C&A desk this am to make sure re: testing sites. They said that Rapid Test & Trace was fine. As long as it's a proctored test using an FDA approved test and the certificate contains your name, DOB, test time and results -you are fine.
  2. There are seven of us leaving Sunday out of Galveston. Three including me have negative tests in hand. Son and his crew are thankfully scheduled for today at Rapid Test & Trace . With Walgreens now charging $129 pp, the difference in cost was $400. That's a lot and another reason the sudden change of policy is terrible. Agree the proctored tests are probably less stressful.
  3. Verified that Walgreens is charging as of yesterday. I (and my family) booked a test last Tuesday for today so it was showing as no cost when I booked but that does not matter to them..they are still charging which, I think, is a poor decision by the corporation. I was able to submit my Medicare insurance and it did cover my test completely but my family is scrambing to get a proctored test today. So stressful for all.
  4. No upfront for me....$0 bill. It did take the pharmacy a ton of time to get the approval...I finally parked and waited inside but then had to rejoin the drive thru to take the test.
  5. Walgreens definitely fouled our family of 5 up. Made our appts as soon as we could (Tuesday) for Friday tests....no mention of a cost. Then yesterday, I saw people posting that they were charging. Checked the website that now shows a blue bubble saying costs will apply. Verified with the pharmacy that even tests schedule previous to the change will be charged. I kept my appointment since I have Medicare and I was able to get it at no cost this morning. The kids had to scramble to find proctored tests today. For a large corporation - this was a very poor way to handle things. People are already stressed about testing before any event and this adds to pain.
  6. Thanks also from me because I was freaking out that no Walgreens in San Antonio (and there are 10 just in my close area) had appointments available past tomorrow when I checked last Friday. I now see it load another day each morning so I now feeling more calm about scheduling for this Friday.
