Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released updates to the Coverage and Reimbursement of COVID-19 Vaccines, Vaccine Administration, and Cost Sharing under Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and Basic Health Program toolkit. This version of the toolkit includes updated information on dental billing codes and the wind down of the Health Resources Services Administration’s uninsured and underinsured funds. CMS has also streamlined language on the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control & Prevention's (CDC) vaccine authorizations.
