Provider Input Requested Regarding Medicaid Vaccine Rates, Vaccine Administration Rates, and Billing
DHS recently emailed a survey link (https://forms.office.com/g/9975Uewd3c) to obtain provider input and information regarding Medicaid vaccine rates, vaccine administration rates, billing, payer mix, and cost. DHS seeks this information to determine the adequacy of rates for vaccines and their administration.
DHS chose to perform rate review for vaccines and their administration separately from other rates due to the seasonal nature of administration, the variety of providers who perform this service, and the varied settings where administration can be performed. As such, these rates do not neatly fit into any one provider group for analysis. DHS believes reviewing vaccines and their administration independently is the best way to get an accurate picture of how vaccines are being provided in Arkansas. Thank you in advance for taking a few minutes out of your very busy day to help gather this information, and as always, please reach out with any questions at [email protected].
