We are excited to unveil a new resource to encourage and support vaccinations in long term care facilities this season:
#GetVaccinated Reimbursement Guide for Health Care Personnel: Frequently Asked Questions on Vaccine Payment Options to Optimize Staff Vaccine Uptake.
Our aim is to ensure that every member of our long term care community is well-informed about vaccine payment options, making it easier to prioritize their health and that of their residents.
WHAT’S IN THE REIMBURSEMENT GUIDE?
The reimbursement guide addresses frequently asked questions and provides answers regarding vaccine payment options for skilled nursing providers. Topics include:
- Where can I find more information on how to code and bill for the COVID-19 and Influenza Vaccine if I administer the vaccine to HCP that have insurance?
- What options do SNF providers have to facilitate staff vaccinations, especially for COVID-19 and Influenza?
- How are SNF staff vaccines paid for?
- Is the Federal Government providing any of these the vaccine product for free?
- Is the reported SNF staff vaccination data publicly reported?
WHY THIS GUIDE IS IMPORTANTThe #GetVaccinated Reimbursement Guide equips long term care personnel with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about getting vaccinated, reducing any financial barriers that may exist.
We encourage you to take advantage of these resources located at getvaccinated.us and incorporate them into your fall vaccination campaign. If you have any questions about the resources or fall vaccinations, please contact COVID19@ahca.org.
Together, we can make a significant impact on the health and safety of those who work and reside in long term care.
Thank you for your dedication to providing exceptional care.
Stay safe and #getvaccinated!
