I was just reading the CMS Weekly Digest Bulletin for this week that talked about reimbursement for a COVID vaccine. Of course it does not speak of how we will be paid in an RHC. Has anyone seen any information on how RHCs will be reimbursed for this? On Cost Report like flu and pneumonia? Split off and bill part B? It also says that for the Medicare Advantage plans that we will bill Medicare and not the MA directly.

Here is a link from my CFO regarding billing administration of covid fees:
Medicare is allowing us to bill the administration fee. Advantage plans are also allowing it, but they must be billed to straight Medicare.

It is expected that for RHCs the COVID 19 vaccine administration will be reported on the cost report and on claims. So, the link below is for Part B providers and not for RHCs.

It is my understanding that the administration costs for the COVID vaccines will be included on your cost report like flu and pneumonia. As we will most likely not be paying for the vaccine itself, the administration costs is all we will be able to recoup on the cost report. You will not be billing Medicare individuallay for the administration.
