CMS has released information on Medicare billing for COVID-19 vaccine shot administration.
 
Here are some things to keep in mind from CMS:
  • You’ll be able to bill on single claims for COVID-19 shot administration or submit claims on a roster bill for multiple patients at one time.
  • When COVID-19 vaccine doses are provided by the government without charge, only bill for the vaccine administration. Don’t include the vaccine codes on the claim when the vaccines are free.
  • If you participate in a Medicare Advantage Plan, submit your COVID-19 claims to Original Medicare for all patients enrolled in Medicare Advantage in 2020 and 2021.
