Does "Medicare" cover shingles shots? [View all]

My Plan D carrier says they cover it, but I have a $400 deductible. The expensive Shingrix shot costs about $200

My medigap insurance is saying they will pick up the deductible "if Medicare covers it" and that Plan D is not "Medicare" so they won't cover it.

So... Is Plan D Medicare or ...???

TIA!
