To ensure Medicare beneficiaries who have difficulty leaving their homes or are otherwise hard-to-reach to receive the vaccination, health care providers can now receive additional payments for administering vaccines to multiple residents in one home setting or communal setting of a home. The federal government is providing the COVID-19 vaccine free of charge or with no cost-sharing for Medicare beneficiaries.
More information regarding the CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Program Provider Requirements and how the COVID-19 vaccine is provided through that program at no cost to recipients is available on the CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Program Provider Requirements and Support webpage.
