CMS COVID-19 Vaccine Toolkits
(Last Updated On: January 7, 2021)
CMS released a set of toolkits for providers, states and insurers to help the health care system prepare to swiftly administer the vaccine once it is available. These resources are designed to increase the number of providers that can administer the vaccine and ensure adequate reimbursement for administering the vaccine in Medicare, while making it clear to private insurers and Medicaid programs their responsibility to cover the vaccine at no charge to beneficiaries. In addition, CMS is taking action to increase reimbursement for any new COVID treatments that are approved by the FDA. Read more, here.
CMS makes periodic updates to these toolkits as new information becomes available. Be sure to refer to them often to answer your questions.
